The Gorilla Fastback Drift Mirage Wandering Hours Special Edition redefines avant-garde independent watchmaking by bringing an elite horological complication into a high-performance, motorsport-inspired aesthetic. Born from the minds of former Audemars Piguet design leaders Octavio Garcia and Lukas Gopp, this striking timepiece wears a vibrant blue and orange livery inspired by the legendary Gulf-coded Le Mans-winning Ford GT40.The case features a multi-layered architecture, utilizing a lightweight forged carbon mid-case paired with a powder blue ceramic bezel and a titanium screw-down crown for 100 meters of water resistance. The dial is a masterpiece of kinetic artistry, displaying a hand-chamfered satellite carrier over a hand-milled base plate with custom aluminum hour disks that sweep across the top 120-degree minute track.
The automatic winding ETA 2824-2 automatic base caliber beats at 4Hz and delivers an approximate power reserve of 38 hours. The proprietary G-5238 wandering hours module was engineered exclusively for Gorilla by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier. The satellite numerals and minutes sector are treated with black Super-LumiNova for night time visibility.
The ceramic, anodized aluminum and forged carbon case measures 44mm (48.5mm w/ crown guards) x 13.9mm x 57mm lug-to-lug and is in excellent condition. Furnished on the OEM rubber strap and titanium pin buckle. Complete with Box & Papers dated 9/26/2023.
