Sarpaneva x Valtteri Bottas ”Kilpisjärvi” - 2023
Sarpaneva x Valtteri Bottas ”Kilpisjärvi”
Here's something you don't see everyday, the absolutely amazing Sarpaneva K0 Valtteri Bottas ”Kilpisjärvi”. This is the latest Sarpaneva K0 release, a case size you don't see from them very often these days, and in my opinion is quite possibly the Coolest Sarp released to date.
It features the most amazing hand-finished lattice dial, cut into the form of the Aurora Borealis aka the Northern Lights, and then painstakingly hand painted in the Sarpaneva workshop in Tritec lume, with each of the 17 pieces having a unique colouring essentially making each a piece unique. For those of us from Australia, there's also a small Easter Egg in the Southern Cross being visible just below the 11 marker that's also executed in Tritec lume. Super cool.
All of this is housed in the superb K0 case measuring in at 46mm that is matte finished. Don't be afraid of the size, though. The short lugs help this to fit most wrists, and it wears more like a 43/44mm traditional watch. Powering it is the Chronode P.1003 automatic movement with matching matte finishing, 60 hour power reserve and the signature Sarpaneva Moonface winding mass with ceramic ball bearing. This movement is a big step up from the previous Soprod movements, and along with the hand painted dial justifies the new step up in pricing for Sarpanevas pieces.
To top it off its mounted to the awesome Sarpaneva rubber strap with signature tang buckle, and also includes a Sarpaneva 'gator strap allowing you to cover off on all seasons.
This particular example was first delivered in January 2023 and presents in TZ 'Mint' condition, with no signs of wear that we can see. Please see images for full condition details.
All functions operating as they should, and under manufacturers warranty until Jan 2025.
Comes with outer box, inner pouch, warranty card dated Jan 2023, 'gator strap and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.
This piece seems to impress everyone who lays eyes on it. They're also super-rare, with only 17 ever made, so don't miss your chance to become "One of the Few" with this as-new example.
