Few cars define an era quite like the Enzo. Completed in February 2004 and finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero, this Ferrari Enzo represents one of the defining supercars of the early 21st century. Ferrari’s carbon fiber flagship combined Formula 1-derived engineering with Ken Okuyama’s unmistakable design language, creating a car that remains every bit as dramatic today as it was at its debut in Paris in 2002. Powered by the legendary 6.0-liter Tipo F140B V-12, the Enzo delivered 651 horsepower through a six-speed automated manual gearbox and introduced a new generation of Ferrari performance. Built with a carbon fiber and Nomex honeycomb tub, Kevlar bodywork, and extensive motorsport-derived technology, it became the blueprint for every Ferrari hypercar that followed. Showing just under 7,200 km from new, this example retains its original chassis, engine, gearbox, and bodywork as confirmed by Ferrari Classiche certification in 2025. Recently serviced and inspected by official Ferrari dealers, and accompanied by fitted luggage and two keys, it stands as one of the most significant modern Ferraris ever produced.

From British Racing Green to Zanzibar Red, Albert Blue to Arancio Borealis, some colors define a car. With @000magazine ’s show @rareshades taking over this weekend in New York City, we thought it was the perfect excuse to look back at a few of the standout Paint to Sample examples we’ve had the opportunity to handle over the years. The right specification can completely transform a car, and these are some that have stayed with us long after they left. Our very own Esteban Larranaga and Taylor Lex will both be at Rare Shades throughout the weekend taking in some of the best specifications and most interesting cars anywhere on the enthusiast calendar. If you see them around, be sure to say hello. #RMSothebys

Every legend has a starting point, and for Valentino Rossi it was this RS125R. At just 17 years old, Valentino Rossi arrived in Grand Prix racing with long hair, raw speed, and something to prove. Riding for Scuderia AGV Aprilia during the 1996 125-cc World Championship season, Rossi lined up for his first-ever Grand Prix aboard this very 1996 Aprilia RS125R, frame no. 1291195. What followed was the beginning of one of the most important careers in motorcycle racing history. Over the course of the 1996 season, Rossi raced this RS125R from Malaysia to Suzuka, Mugello to Donington, steadily building momentum before stepping onto his first Grand Prix podium in Austria. Then came Brno. On 18 August 1996, this very motorcycle carried Rossi to his maiden Grand Prix victory, the first of 115 wins that would ultimately establish “The Doctor” as the defining rider of the modern MotoGP era. Still presented in its preserved Scuderia AGV Aprilia livery and adorned with Rossi’s iconic number 46, the motorcycle remains powered by the very 125-cc two-stroke engine used during that breakthrough victory in the Czech Republic. Accompanied by factory team sheets documenting each of its 1996 race entries, this is not simply a Grand Prix motorcycle. It is the opening chapter of a legend.

One of the greatest drivers in F1 history, Michael Schumacher gifted this extraordinary watch to Nigel Stepney following the events of the 2000 Spanish Grand Prix—and now it could be yours. In the aftermath of a pit stop incident during the race, Schumacher presented senior Ferrari team member Stepney with his own Rolex Daytona Ref. 16518 as a gesture of goodwill. This exceptional timepiece remains in remarkable condition and features a rare mother-of-pearl dial, further distinguished by Schumacher’s name engraved on the case back. The watch is accompanied by its original lacquered wooden Rolex presentation box, which Schumacher personally inscribed in metallic gold ink with the dedication: “To Nigel 2000!” Sotheby's Geneva Important Watches Auction 10 May 11:00 CEST Lot 118 #SothebysGeneva
