Ask a motorbike fan about a monster on two wheels and he/she/it is going to tell you about the Ducati Panigale V4 SP2 30° Anniversario 916. Then you can talk back about this Gerald Charles Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916. But to give you some information on the bike, it is a 45 to 55k superbike, limited to 500 copies. And it celebrates 30 years of the Panigale. And it’s sold out.

This monster, we’re still talking about the bike here, has a 1.103 cm3 Desmosedici Stradale engine and lots of carbon, aluminium and other lightweight stuff. The power? 157.5 kW (214 hp) @ 13,000 rpm, with a torque of 124.0 Nm (91.5 lb-ft) @ 9500 rpm and a weight of just 194 kg (427 lb). 0 to 60 mph or 0 to 100 km/h in less than a nanosecond and a top speed of a million. We couldn’t find those specs.

Disc of the Ducati 916 wheel

This Maestro 4.0 is a homage to the Ducati 916 and joins to party to celebrate its 30^th birthday. So, there are some red references. On top of the skeleton dial is a jumping hour disk in golden satin effect, echoing the original three-spoke bronze alloy wheel of the bike. Jumping hours means there is no hour hand.

The hours are indicated with the 12-hour markers in vivid red, filled with red super-luminova. The actual hour is displayed in a window or guichet at the 12 o’clock position, printed on the inside of the sapphire. The minutes are indicated by a hand that looks like the hand of a rev counter, and so are the numerals on the flange of the dial. 

The Gerald Charles Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916 has a power reserve of 50 hours

The movement of the Gerald Charles Maestro 4.0 Ducati 30° Anniversario 916 is the automatic Gerald Charles caliber GCA 3002JH. It comes with anti-clockwise jumping hours instant with concentric central minutes. The bridges are finely decorated with colimaçon, Côtes de Genève and perlage finishes and the central oscillating mass is from gold. And decorated with the Gerald Charles “honeycomb” motif and sandblasted finishings. The module wheels are rhodium plated and the power reserve is 50 hours.

The strap gives an extra Ducati feeling, as it is ruby red, from vulcanized rubber. With Clous de Paris finish to top side and Gerald Charles logo tapisserie to rear. And a polished grade 5 titanium buckle with GC logo engraved. Exclusively for Ducati passionate clients who bought the Panigale, the bike’s serial number may be engraved on the watch case back.
