Laureato-Olimpico 8017 original price list

Laureato-Olimpico 8017 from the 1996 GP catalog. See the price list. Before tax 9,800 Deutschmarks. These were not cheap. This is 1996 … imagine that. And they sold out as this model was highly sought after. Good to know these things.

Can't go any further back...

I was shown a Ref.5271/ 11p owned by a friend of mine. The actual blue sapphire was much deeper in color and attractive than the catalog photo.

The original 5270 is a leaf hand, but I prefer this shape type. Even the clasp is set with jewels, giving it a luxurious feel. We took a two-shot with 5539G (MR Tourbillon)

Double the fun...

How many of you own the same watch but with a slight variation? I LOVE the white dial Datejust with Roman numerals. I bought the 16220 with engine turned bezel couple of years ago. Love it. All was well until i saw a YouTube review of the 16234 with flute
