The racing success of the Maserati MC12 in
the 2005 FIA GT Manufacturers’ Cup is being celebrated by the
brand new
and exclusive Audemars Piguet watch, the Millenary MC12
Tourbillon and Chronograph. This timeless piece is
reminiscent of the MC12 roadcar as it is white and blue colour, and
will be produced in a limited series of 150, all in platinum 950.
Tradition, excellence, daring: these are the
values on which Maserati and Audemars Piguet have based
their partnership. Closely associated with the “Trofeo Audemars Piguet Maserati Europa”,
the Manufacturer from Le Brassus is also the official sponsor of the MC12 cars
participating in the GT competitions.
The Maserati MC12, the
road-going Grand Tourer is characterised by its white and blue
livery which harks back to the colours of the famous Birdcage
that raced in the Sixties, has seen just 50 examples
produced.

They were sold in 2004 and
2005 at the price of 720.000 euro each. A GT racing version
was developed from the
road-going model - the car that has marked Maserati’s return
to racing in the FIA GT Championship. After a brilliant
start up in 2004, Maserati won the FIA GT Manufacturers’ Cup
in 2005.
The new Audemars Piguet
Tourbillon and Chronograph and the GranSport MC Victory,
officially launched at Geneva to celebrate the Maserati
success in the FIA GT Championship, both show the strong
effort of the Modena manufacturer in motor sports. Historically, Maserati has won 500 races in 30 years of
motor sports, thus creating its own legend.
