There is no better way of commemorating the 80^th anniversary of Pininfarina than with a prestigious tourbillon watch. The watch is housed in a convertible case, meaning it can be worn on the wrist with either of its two dials displayed. It can also be combined with a titanium chain for use as a pocket watch or deployed as a table clock. As a tribute to the 80^th anniversary, the tourbillon carriage makes a complete revolution in exactly 80 seconds. As well as displaying the hours and minutes in a traditional layout, the reverse dial features a single hand that allows the hour, half-hour and quarter-hour to be read. Complete with original accessories and offered in like new condition, the present watch illustrates perfect symbiosis of technical virtuosity, performance and beauty.
