C70 3527 GT ChronomeTer
LImITed edITIon
In partnership with TMB Art Metal we are
proud to offer you the chance of owning
a small piece of one of the world’s most
iconic, and not to say valuable, cars –
the Ferrari 250 GTO.
embedded behind museum-grade sapphire
crystal in the back-plate of this stunning
chronometer is an original piece of exterior
panelling from the seventh 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.
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 5111GT from Connecticut-
based collector paul pappalardo.
The chassis number of the C70’s car, 3527GT,
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 numeral 6
from the car’s number-plate to be shown in
glorious rosso Corsa livery.
