With its avant-garde case, the Heuer Monaco has always been associated with the Golden Age of chronograph watches of the 1960s and 70s. Designed by Jack Heuer and released in 1969, it was named for the famed Formula One racetrack, and worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 classic film Le Mans. Launched in 1969, it was one of the world’s first automatic chronograph watches, alongside the Zenith El Primero. Today, the Monaco reference 1133 is an icon amongst chronograph aficionados. The revolutionary design created a new aesthetic, with its large oversized square-shape, blue dial, white subsidiary seconds and red hands, and hour markers. The present example is ‘New Old Stock’, in absolutely mint, unused condition, still retaining the original Heuer sticker on the case back. Possibly one of the finest examples to appear at auction, its desirability is further enhanced by its completeness, as it is accompanied with its original, inner and outer presentation boxes, guarantee, NSA stainless steel bracelet and buckle, and even its original hang tag. This superb example ticks all the boxes for passionate collectors, with its seductive design, wearability, rarity, and near-perfect condition.
