This four-piece collection of Ferrari memorabilia has been with the seller since 2021 and includes a Girard-Perregaux Ferrari watch, an Arno XI Hydroplane scale model, an F1 scale model, and a copy of Ferrari: 25 Years of Calendar Images by Günther Raupp. The lot is offered at no reserve in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Girard-Perregaux traces its origins to 1791, when Jean-François Bautte signed his first timepiece in Geneva. Italian architect and rally racer Luigi Macaluso bought the watchmaking company in 1992. Luca di Montezemolo, president of Ferrari from 1991 to 2014, met with Macaluso, and the pair agreed that Ferrari and Girard-Perregaux would begin co-branding watches. In 2004, after eleven years of producing watches bearing the Ferrari name, Girard-Perregaux moved on from the partnership. This example is number 44 of 100 ref. 4980 examples produced. The titanium case measures approximately 43 mm and is fitted with a rubber strap. Features include a rotating 24-hour world time ring, a date window, and three sub-dials. A box is included.
This 1:8 scale model was constructed to depict the Ferrari V12-powered Arno XI racing hydroplane. Commissioned by Achille Castoldi in the early 1950s, the Arno XI was powered by a Ferrari 4.5-liter V12 and was piloted to a record-setting 150.49 mph in October 1953. It was later owned and raced by Nando dell’Orto, whose name appears on either side of the cockpit on this model. Details include a plank-style wood deck, a windscreen, faux side exhaust pipes, a pilot’s seat, a steering wheel, and imitation gauges. It measures around 31″ long.
The 1:24 scale Ferrari F2005 was manufactured by Hot Wheels to depict the Formula One race car built by Scuderia Ferrari for the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship. Rubens Barrichello drove the #2 car, like this model, and his teammate was Michael Schumacher. The F2005 was the final Ferrari F1 car powered by a V10 engine before regulations mandated V8s in 2006.
In collaboration with Ferrari, teNeues published this 223-page coffee table book with full-color images selected from over 25 years of Ferrari calendars.
