With 2 Parmigiani setting pens and a presentation box.

Inspired by the world's fastest production road car of the same name, the Parmigiani Bugatti Type 370, launched in 2006, featured a revolutionary format in movement construction by using a lateral rather than vertical bridge design. This lateral position allowed use of a larger mainspring barrel to extend the running time to 10 days. Worn horizontally on the wrist to allow the dial to be clearly visible while driving, the movement is wound and adjusted via the underside using a specially made 'starter key'. The key itself, in the form of a pen, can be wound then released when attached to the movement to automatically wind the mainspring. Unlike anything seen previously and manufactured in very limited quantities, the design remains unmistakable as perhaps the world's most advance driving watch.
