A fine limited edition white gold perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch, made to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Ferrari, limited edition of 349 pieces

Read Conditions of Sale
The partnership of the “prancing horse” and the “sweeping hands” started in 1993, when Ferrari signed a co-branding deal with Girard Perregaux and launched their very first timepiece in the same year featuring a flyback chronograph wristwatch. With a successful reception among Ferrari collectors and the Japanese market, the two firms continued to release timepieces featuring the “prancing horse” logo on the dial. In 1997, Girard Perregaux and Ferrari celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Ferrari together launching this present limited edition timepiece “F50”. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Ferrari also released a limited edition super car, the legendary F50 with only a total production of 349 cars.

The present lot is being sold to benefit The One Drop Foundation, a charity striving to provide safe drinking water to all communities.

Girard Perregaux

Swiss | 1791

Celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2016, the company earned its fame as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high-grade movements, cases and dials within its premises. Particularly noteworthy are the brand's three-gold-bridge tourbillon pocket watches built by Constant Girard beginning in 1867 — considered amongst the most beautiful movement architectures ever made. An active participant in Switzerland's observatory chronometry competitions, the brand won so many precision awards that they were excluded from competing in 1901.



Key models include nineteenth and twentieth century pocket watches with three gold bridges, modern tourbillon wristwatches with three gold bridges, minute repeating pocket and wristwatches, as well as sport watches such as the Laureato and Sea Hawk.
