As part of its long-term partnership with Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM), the marquee has designed a special trophy case to celebrate the 79th edition of the annual racing event. It has been handcrafted in LV’s traditional workshop just outside of Paris and includes the classic monogram pattern in a red and black backdrop – to represent the colors of Monaco’s flag.

In addition to the above, the trophy features an oversized “V” in red and white that is symbolic of victory. The white stripe also stands for the street circuit of one of the most spectacular racetracks in the world. Inside the case sits the iconic trophy that is a replica of the 3,337-km circuit with its famous 19 bends.

At almost 300 km/h between the rails, it is the Formula 1 Grand Prix that all drivers aspire to win one day. “
