1947-2007 Ferrari 60th Anniversary Commemorative Baton #112/500
Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari in 2007, Ferrari organized a “Ferrari 60th Relay”. It kicked off on January 28th in Abu Dhabi, and concluded in Maranello on June 24th, after traversing about 50 countries in 148 days. The central theme of the final events is technological innovation pioneered by Ferrari in the 60 years of its existence. For the occasion, Ferrari assembled its 60 most important innovations, ranging from aluminium pliers for disc brakes to the electric differential and the F1 gearbox.
The baton for the Ferrari 60 Relay was specially created to symbolize the history of the company, from its first success at the Rome Grand Prix of 1947 to the Ferrari FXX of 2006.
Select clients were invited to carry and “relay” the baton around the world in their Ferraris. In commemoration of the grand event, Ferrari manufactured and offered for sale 500 numbered examples of this wonderful masterpiece, of which this is number 112.
The Ferrari Relay Baton is made from turned, lacquered aluminium and bears 60 enamelled symbols representing the most significant events in the company’s history. The relay baton was created by designers Marco Marosini and Matteo Mezzanotti of the Morisini studio and manufactured by VeCa using Formula 1 technologies with assistance from Editalia Gruppo Istituto Poligrafico and Zecca dello Stato on the symbols.
A strictly limited edition of just 500 numbered batons were made in all.
Dimension: Baton 7.8 x 83cm; pedestal 29 x 29 x 2.8cm
The baton comes complete with the original wooden crate it was supplied in, a rare piece for the most discerning of Ferrari collectors.
