The original Centigraphe Souverain was first produced in aluminium for a short period of time between 2011 and 2014 and marked the launch of the 'LineSport' collection, which encompassed watches of an astounding lightness thought and conceived specifically for proficient sporting activities.
On 27 May 2012 the Centigraphe Sport participated in its first official motor sport race, the Indy500, on Jean Alesi's wrist and its colors were emblazoned on the black and gold Lotus Dallara. The mechanical movement of the watch indicates elapsed times from a 100th of a second to 10 minutes, visible on 3 dials with red time scales.
The present lot, while slightly heavier than the aluminium version, is still extremely light thanks to its titanium case and bracelet. Sotheby's is further excited to offer this piece from 2019 in like new condition with warranty card and presentation case.
