The present refernce is the SPORT AUTO 40 \u2013 ATELIER V Series by LAURENT FERRIER<\/strong>,\u00a0it’s a vibrant tribute to a storied legacy where the thrill of high-speed racing meets the finesse of fine watchmaking. This timepiece celebrates a memorable moment in 1979, when Fran\u00e7ois Servanin and Laurent Ferrier, founders and racing enthusiasts, defied expectations at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Steering the iconic Porsche 935 Turbo No. 40, they not only raced but made history, securing a remarkable third place among 60 competitors. This achievement forever bonded the adrenaline of racing with the art of horology.<\/p>\n

The watch\u2019s design is a nod to this legacy. Its dial, in a striking gradient of viridian green, mirrors the Porsche’s hues, accented with a fuchsia cross and a discreet date window, evoking the car’s dynamic spirit. The hands and indexes, adorned with orange Super-LumiNova set in white gold, add a distinctive character, much like the car’s own unique charm, last but not least a tone-on-tone “40” sits discreetly on the opaline white small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock.<\/p>\n

But the SPORT AUTO 40 is more than a mere homage. It’s a testament to the art of “sports-watchmaking”.<\/p>\n

Its 41.5 mm titanium case is a study in harmony, blending smooth curves with bold lines. The integrated titanium bracelet, with its polished and satin-brushed finishes, speaks of the meticulous attention to detail that is quintessentially LAURENT FERRIER.<\/p>\n

At the heart of this masterpiece is the LF270.01 calibre, a marvel of mechanical ingenuity. It combines the efficiency of a self-winding movement with the precision of Swiss engineering, including a micro-rotor in 950 platinum. This ensures impeccable timekeeping, backed by an impressive 72-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n

The sapphire crystal case back is like a window to the soul of the watch, revealing the breathtaking craftsmanship within. The satin-brushed and ruthenium-treated bridges are more than just functional; they are a visual ode to the meticulous skill that goes into every LAURENT FERRIER creation, embodying a passion for excellence that resonates with both racing aficionados and watch connoisseurs alike.<\/p>\n

This series was made in a limited edition of 40 pieces only and was sold-out at release. \u00a0We happy to offer this rare Laurent Ferrier, the only Sport Auto special edition made.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
