Laurent Ferrier - Sport Auto - LCF040.T1.C1GC5 - Grade 5 Titanium - Blue Gradient Dial
Watch Info
Manufacturer: Laurent Ferrier
Model: Sport Auto
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: LCF040.T1.C1GC5
Year: 2023
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Laurent Ferrier loupe, presentation box, December 2023 Certificate of Origin, and all original documentation.
Notes: The LCF040.T1.C1GC5 is Laurent Ferrier's Sport Auto in Grade 5 titanium — the atelier's most wearable and purposeful expression of Genevan haute horlogerie in a format built for daily use. The Sport Auto is powered by the in-house Calibre LF270.01 — an exclusively developed automatic movement with an off-centre micro-rotor, Swiss lever escapement, and a unidirectional ball bearing winding system that replaces the traditional ratchet for improved shock and vibration resistance. Entirely designed, decorated, assembled, and adjusted in the Laurent Ferrier workshops, the movement is finished to a standard that is immediately apparent through the exhibition caseback. The gradient blue dial with opaline finish is the most striking configuration in the Sport Auto lineup — a shifting composition of deep and pale blue that frames the small seconds at 6 o'clock with exceptional elegance, complemented by drop-shaped 18k white gold indices and assegai-shaped hands filled with green Super-LumiNova. Laurent Ferrier founded his atelier in Geneva in 2010 following a distinguished career at Patek Philippe, bringing with him a movement finishing philosophy and design sensibility shaped by decades at the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This December 2023 example has been carefully worn and presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. The Grade 5 titanium case retains strong original finishing consistent with careful use.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The gradient blue opaline dial is pristine, retaining its full depth and tonal character. The drop-shaped white gold indices and assegai-shaped hands with green Super-LumiNova fill are in perfect condition. The domed sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 41.5mm Grade 5 titanium case retains strong factory lines with clean, well-defined profiles. The alternating polished and brushed titanium surfaces show light, honest marks consistent with careful use. The case shows no signs of polishing.
Bracelet & Clasp: The integrated Grade 5 titanium bracelet is in excellent condition with minimal surface marks consistent with careful use. The Grade 5 titanium folding clasp functions perfectly.

Why the Sport Auto Blue is Laurent Ferrier's Most Compelling Daily Wear
Laurent Ferrier established his independent atelier in Geneva in 2010 after a distinguished career at Patek Philippe — bringing with him a movement finishing philosophy and design sensibility shaped by decades at the absolute pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking. The Sport Auto is the most accessible expression of that philosophy, combining the atelier's commitment to workshop-finished movement craft with a Grade 5 titanium sport case of exceptional lightness and durability. The Calibre LF270.01 is an exclusively developed movement — not a base calibre from a supplier, not a modified ébauche, but a movement conceived, finished, and regulated entirely within the Laurent Ferrier workshops in Plan-les-Ouates.
The gradient blue dial is the most visually arresting configuration in the Sport Auto lineup — a composition whose tonal range and opaline surface quality shifts between soft and electric depending on the light, producing a dial that rewards sustained attention in a way that very few modern independent pieces can claim. In the current 2026 market, workshop-finished independent Genevan watchmaking of Laurent Ferrier's depth remains profoundly undervalued relative to output from more aggressively marketed maisons — a gap that reflects brand awareness rather than any meaningful difference in quality, craft, or design integrity. For the collector who has arrived at the conclusion that provenance, movement finishing, and independent spirit matter more than brand recognition, this is a genuinely exceptional opportunity.
