Ferrari - Formula By Cartier - 18ct Gold Plated - Nos - Full Set - No reserve price - Unisex - 1980-1989

Fascinating and extremely rare Ferrari Formula wristwatch, a collector’s piece of extraordinary historical importance that embodies the legend of Maranello and the prestige of the finest luxury craftsmanship. This legendary model dates back to the 1980s (around 1985) and was born of the historic direct collaboration between Enzo Ferrari and the prestigious high-watchmaking house Cartier, which was entirely responsible for the conception, design and production of this exclusive line. The watch beautifully catches the eye with its polished yellow-gold-plated round case, distinguished by the iconic fixed bezel engraved with the “Ferrari” logo and filled with black enamel. The gorgeous, exceptionally clean dark anthracite-grey dial features applied geometric gold-tone hour markers, a date window at 3 o’clock, baton hands and the celebrated raised gold-tone Prancing Horse at 6 o’clock. The precious inscription “Made in France” stands out along the lower edge of the dial, an unmistakable signature attesting to its manufacture at Cartier’s historic French workshops of the period and making this an exceptionally rare lot of immense collectible value.
The watch is in exceptional, genuine New Old Stock (NOS) condition. It has never been worn and has been impeccably preserved over time, with completely lustrous gold-plated surfaces and not the slightest mark. The complete original period set (Full Set) significantly enhances the investment value of this lot. It includes the original white outer box, the luxurious black presentation box with gold-tone trim signed “Ferrari Formula,” the booklet and the original international warranty card, left blank. Inside is a highly reliable, high-precision Swiss-French-made Cartier quartz movement, running perfectly and tested with a new battery. The timepiece is completed by its original midnight-blue leather strap with original gold-tone pin buckle, bearing an engraved Prancing Horse and its original period tag still attached.
