Laurent Ferrier Presents the Sport Auto “On Track” for Only Watch
Featuring elements that nod to the brand’s associated history with motor racing.
Gearing up for this year’s Only Watch, Laurent Ferrier has confirmed that it’ll be offering this colorful Sport Auto “On Track” timepiece for the biennial charity auction.
The time-teller’s design draws on the rich history of motor racing that Laurent Ferrier associates with. The 41.5mm case is crafted from grade 5 titanium, housing a charcoal gray gradient dial that nods to the appearance of asphalt.
Adorning the inner bezel is a track-like pattern in alternating shades of blue and yellow, which serves as a reference to speed bumps on racetracks. On the 6 o’clock mark sits a subdial with tone-on-tone “OW” lettering, while the date display is located in the 3 o’clock direction. Its 18k white gold indices, as well as hour and minute hands, are doused in Super-LumiNova to ensure legibility even in low-light conditions.
Beating at the heart of this one-off reference is the self-winding LF270.01 movement, an in-house caliber geared with 72 hours of power reserve and 120 meters of water resistance. The watch also features an “Only Watch 2023” engraving on its caseback, and comes with an integrated metal bracelet.
The Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto “On Track” timepiece is expected to fetch between 50,000 – 85,000 CHF (approximately $55,832 – $94,914 USD) at the Only Watch auction, due to take place on November 5, 2023 in Geneva. Visit its designated webpage to learn more about the piece.
