    A series of Panerai Ferrari watches and Girard-Perregaux Ferrari watches are found among the most highly demanded car-themed timepieces.

Girard-Perregaux watchmakers possessed significant experience in producing sports watches that turned out to be really useful in developing theF1 world champion. The chronograph paid tribute to the Maranello designers and was designed to resemble the F1 Ferrari car.
    The partnership between Girard-Perregaux and Ferrari finished in 2004. Today everyone interested in Girard-Perregaux creations devoted to Ferrari cars has a great chance to admire Girard-Perregaux Ferrari watch models in the Girard-Perregaux watch museum.
      Later on, Officine Panerai became the new Ferrari’s partner – the union much appreciated by the Italian racing fans. The brand has developed two Panerai Ferrari watch collections – Granturismo and Scuderia, initially presented at the SIHH in 2006. The timepieces gained huge success among watch connoisseur and racing fans due to their complicated technological features and distinctive design.
