Patrick Bernardini at the Tour de Corse Historique
Arpiem is present at the start of the Tour de Corse Historique thanks to Patrick Bernardini, a member of the Arpiem Drivers' Club. Patrick, a two-time winner of the French Rally Championship and winner of the 2016 Monte-Carlo Rally, is competing behind the wheel of a superb Group A BMW M3 and is navigated by Fabrice Gordon.
And we know the man; he isn't coming just to make up the numbers! Forza Patrick!
Arpiem has dedicated one of its watches, the Ride & Drive MACCHIA, to the legendary Tour de Corse: it features the famous Moor's head at the bottom of the dial, the mention "10,000" in place of the 10 o'clock index (the "rally of 10,000 corners"), as well as references to its most famous special stages such as La Porta, Notre Dame de la Serra, Porto-Piana, etc., around the flange.
The Ride and Drive Macchia is an automatic watch with a rotating dial and double case, equipped with the Miyota 9039 movement and two scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, numbered in a limited edition, and available for €579 at www.arpiem.fr.
