This is the 2023 novelty from Laurent Ferrier: the Sport Auto 40 with a green dial with purple accents. The green-violet dial color matches the livery of the Porsche 935 Turbo that Laurent Ferrier, François Servanin and François Trisconi drove for the 47th edition of the 24-hours race in Le Mans in 1979 and which led them to a third place overall. If you look closely at the small seconds dial at 6 o’clock you can see a white number 40 printed on in slightly varying shades of white, which match the start number which was printed on the doors of the colorful Porsche that drove at Le Mans. The number 40 is also the amount of watches that you’ll see from this model: 40 individually numbered watches, that have all found a happy owner, since it’s sold out already.
