Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

In 1999 Ferrari won the Formula 1 Constructors’ title for the first time in 16 years; to celebrate this achievement Girard-Perregaux released a strictly limited edition of 100 'chronographe à rattrapante foudroyante' timepieces - the manifold technical and aesthetic details perfectly harmonizing with the extreme concept of Formula 1.

One look at the case back reveals the highly attractive engraving 'Scuderia Ferrari, Campione del Mondo 1999'.

1999 F1 Championship
Three drivers had a chance of winning the title at various points in the season, but the victorious one was Mika Hakkinnen who won his second consecutive title. Ferrari won their ninth constructors' title and their first since 1983. However, Schumacher’s season was cut short by an injury at the British Grand Prix, where he suffered a broken leg in a crash. He returned for the last two races of the season in order to assist Irvine in his championship run.
