The Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto 79 reference LCF040.R5.GR1C1 pairs an 18k red-gold 5N case with an integrated red-gold bracelet and a cream-coloured, rose-silver dial. The brand’s product page lists the watch at 98,000 CHF and invites inquiries; GPHG lists 85,399 CHF including VAT. Those figures have different stated bases and are not reconciled by either listing.
What changed with the red-gold Sport Auto 79?
Reference LCF040.R5.GR1C1 is the red-gold 5N version of the Sport Auto 79. Its 41.5 mm case, integrated bracelet and folding clasp are all specified in 18k red gold 5N. The rounded, aerodynamic case and bracelet are described by Laurent Ferrier as drawing on racing-car forms; the brand also points to the tonneau-shaped case middle, softened bezel, and contrast between satin-brushed and polished surfaces. These are the maker’s design explanations, not claims of a functional performance advantage. Laurent Ferrier product listing · Laurent Ferrier launch article, June 2, 2025
The dial is cream-coloured, with silver-rose galvanic treatment and an opaline finish. The brand’s launch article describes a rose-silver hue, powder-grey details, a minute track, a date aperture at 3 o’clock and a snailed small-seconds display at 6. Red-gold 5N drop-shaped indices mark the hours. Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands carry white Super-LumiNova; the seconds hand is baton-shaped and red gold.
How the name connects to Le Mans
The Sport Auto 79 commemorates Laurent Ferrier, François Servanin and François Trisconi finishing third overall in the 1979 Le Mans 24 Hours. In its June 2, 2025 account, Laurent Ferrier says the team covered 3,988 km. That distance and race story are the manufacturer’s account, rather than an independently verified race record in the cited material. The brand says the experience and friendship helped set its later watchmaking venture in motion.

- Gold-tone link bracelet with adjustable sliding buckle closure
- Water resistant to 165 feet (50M)
The watch was presented for Laurent Ferrier’s 15th anniversary. Although the title’s “now in Red Gold” describes this version, it should not be read as a recent launch: GPHG dates the watch’s launch to June 2025. In the same 2025 article, the brand attributes the remark “We’re not world champions” to Laurent Ferrier as something he often says; the page gives no specific date or interview context for it.
