Laurent Ferrier's Sport Auto Blue takes cues from its designer's time behind the wheel.
The gesture sheds light on another point of authenticity: Ferrier worked as a watchmaker and product development manager at Patek Philippe for 37 years, where he was part of the team that developed the famous Gerald-Genta designed Nautilus. Some say the new Sport Auto Blue resembles the famed Nautilus, but if anyone has the street cred to create an auto-inspired watch that resembles the Nautilus, surely it is Laurent Ferrier.
The watch may be sporty, but it is also pure Laurent Ferrier in its level of finish and classic minimalism. The case and bezel are given a vertical satin finish, contrasted by a high polish on the flanks, which emphasizes the many curves and counter curves. The finish is carried over to the bracelet, with a satin brush contrasted by polished flanks on each generously rounded link.
The Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto Blue is priced at $49,500. Although it is not a limited edition, the brand will make only 125 pieces in 2022.
