Panerai Ferrari FER00011 Automatic Chronograph
Sharing an Italian heritage, flair for the unique and a famed sense of craftsmanship, Panerai and Ferrari began a collaboration in 2005 for Panerai to create a whole host of timepieces under the Ferrari brand. Following the end of Girard Perregaux’s licensing agreement with Ferrari in 2005, Panerai’s then CEO, Angelo Bonati, reached out to Ferrari and had a meeting with Jean Todt to see if the two Italian powerhouses could join forces, and that they did. As a result, Panerai created a whole host of distinctly Italian timepieces for the famed automaker, such as the Scuderia Chronograph, the Scuderia Rattrapante and the Scuderia Granturismo Chronograph that we have here. Made of stainless steel and powered by Panerai’s automatic cal. OP XII movement, the robust and capable Granturismo featured a bright yellow dial indicative of the classic yellow Ferrari color that has long been used to paint Ferrari’s famous designs. Measuring 45mm in diameter and 16.5mm tall, the resulting timepiece is a visually distinct and imposing watch that embodies Ferrari’s spirit as an automaker that doesn’t shy away from embracing their own tradition, much like how Panerai stuck to their guns and created a watch that fit their design language just as much as it fit Ferrari’s.
THE DIAL Lacking an Panerai branding and boasting Ferrari's Prancing Horse alongside a rich yellow color; one of Ferrari's most iconic options, this Gran Turismo Chronograph leaves no ambiguity as to who it was created for.
THE CONSTRUCTION Featuring a large and loud 45mm stainless steel case, much in the spirit of the incredible presence that Ferrari communicates through their cars, this Chronograph does not shy away from making a statement.
