9th of June 1979, on the Sarthe circuit, at Le Mans. Laurent Ferrier and co-founder François Servanin raced in a Porsche 935 Turbo, after 24 hours of racing, 292 laps, 3,988.254 kilometres covered, a top speed of 312 km/h, 24 pit stops, Laurent, François and teammate Trisconi, finally made it across the finish line in 3rd place, just behind a certain Paul Newman. A remarkable achievement for three amateur drivers! Now 40 years later Laurent Ferrier launches its racing-inspired timepiece the Sport Auto.
The exterior of the Sport Auto is a refined interplay of firm and rounded curves enlivened by a few counter-curves outlining a bodywork with a perfectly balanced design. The domed sapphire dominates the watch while giving it an irresistible curve to the touch. The latter offers a bird's-eye view of a dial bringing together all the LAURENT FERRIER aesthetic codes. Its different shades of blue, combined with its opaline finish, gives it a soft and powdery line.
