The tribute to the heliocentric theory
and observation of the universe
A unique piece
shaped on the 486 Parallelo
Presented as a world premiere during the event celebrating the luxury of Pietro Beretta Selection, it is testimony to the Gardonese company's desire to push the boundaries of innovation and craftsmanship: 800 hours of work by master craftsmen in Gardone Val Trompia, added to months of study by the Research & Development, Design and Marketing departments.
The typical receiver with its rounded profile and the cross of the 486 are coated with a color case treatment in shades of blue, green and red, reminiscent of the environment and light trails of space.
For the first time, the engravings also extend to the stock with small copper and silver stars to create continuity with the receiver, forend and sleeve. The connecting lines of the stock and receiver of the 486 lend unsurpassed harmony and elegance to the shotgun's proportions.
The case, handmade in the prestigious Atelier, completes the masterpiece: a blue leather with a digital print of the celestial map designed by Copernicus, enriched in the centre by a three-dimensional brass plate reproducing the sun, laser-etched and then hand-etched for greater definition of the rays.
