Ciottolo Azzurro Andrea Pirlo's Project with Artisans de Genève

In the realm where passion for football and the artistry of watchmaking converge, Andrea Pirlo stands as a luminary figure. Renowned for his elegance on the pitch, Pirlo’s refined taste extends beyond football to the world of horology.

In 2019, Pirlo embarked on a horological journey with Artisans de Genève, an independent workshop celebrated for its bespoke timepiece customization. Fast forward to the present, and Pirlo has once again entrusted Artisans de Genève with a cherished timepiece, the Patek Philippe 5167A, giving birth to the “Ciottolo Azzurro Project.”

The Ciottolo Azzurro Project is a testament to the harmonious collaboration between Andrea Pirlo and Artisans de Genève. The project’s genesis lies in Pirlo’s desire to infuse his Aquanaut® with a profound shade of blue, reminiscent of the sea and freedom. This undertaking marked a unique challenge, demanding a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge techniques.

The watch, a masterpiece of ingenuity, showcases an intense Azzurro blue dial with a 12/6 satin-finish, radiating timeless elegance. The rose gold hands, meticulously polished and beveled by hand, dance gracefully over the anthracite skeleton movement, creating a visual symphony.

The genuine rubber strap, a signature of the Ciottolo Azzurro Project, underwent months of research to achieve Pirlo’s envisioned Azzurro blue, further exemplifying the dedication to perfection.

Andrea Pirlo’s discerning eye for the perfect combination of colors is reflected in the Azzurro blue and rose gold palette—a fusion of freedom and elegance. The 324 caliber, transformed into a skeleton version, invites admiration from every angle.

Artisans de Genève’s craftsmen embarked on a journey of precision, beveling, satin-finishing, and circular-graining each element to create a harmonious allure. The pièce de résistance, a skeletonized gold rotor, adds depth and contrast to the anthracite movement, completing the opus that is the Ciottolo Azzurro Project.
