A limited edition watch, number 096 of 100 this beautifully detailed chronograph is unique in having a piece of history embedded into it's caseback. Embedded behind museum-grade sapphire crystal in the back-plate of this stunning chronometer is an original piece of exterior panelling from the seventh Ferrari 250 GTO (only 39 were ever built), which left the Ferrari factory on 22nd May, 1962. The date is actually featured in the watch's tachymeter. This is a wonderful collectors piece for anyone who appreciates the most valuable of all historic Ferraris as well as fine timepiece. It contains a highly accurate Swiss made super-quartz Chronometer graded and certified movement The watch was purchsed in November 2014 and has been worn very rarely and is in excellent condition. It comes complete with box and all papers, including a Certificate of Authenticity, COSC Chronometer certificate and the usual owner manuals. It has the remainder of the Christopher Ward 5 year warranty (expires in November 2019). To understand the GTO's importance in the annals of automotive history, one needs only to recall the world record $52 million spent by an unnamed buyer in October 2013 to secure chassis number 5111 GT from Connecticut-based collector Paul Pappalardo. The chassis number of the C70's car, 3527 GT, gives this strictly limited watch its nomenclature, and this is indicated on the side of the case. The traditional Ferrari colouring of the beautifully executed dial serves as an impressive overture for the back-plate of the watch. The piece of original metal has been skillfully cut by experts in Switzerland to allow the number 6 from the car's number-plate to be shown in glorious Rosso Corsa livery. The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely recognised as the most valuable car in the world. To own a Ferrari 250 GTO is an impossible dream for all but a handful of billionaire collectors but for a fortunate few, the dream can be at least partially realised by owning the C70 3527 GT.
