Object description

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in a three-body platinum case characterized by both polished and brushed finishes. It features an inclined brushed bezel and curved lugs, with the case back secured by eight individual screws. A distinctive element of the case back is the integration of a multicolored enamel Ferrari logo.

The dial is black and features luminous Arabic numerals paired with luminous baton hands. It provides functionality for a perpetual calendar and chronograph, with subsidiary registers for 24-hour time, days of the week, months, and 30-minute and 12-hour intervals. The periphery of the dial is finished with outer minute divisions and a tachometer scale.
