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 after the famed Formula One racetrack, and worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 classic film Le Mans. Steve McQueen then gifted his watch to his personal mechanic before it made its way to the auction market in 2020 where it was sold for a record breaking $2.2 Million during the Phillips Racing Pulse auction in New York , making it the most expensive Heuer ever to be sold.

The present example of Heuer’s legendary chronograph is preserved in mint condition, still retaining the original Heuer sticker on the caseback. It also comes with its original presentation box, typical pierced leather bracelet and period steel Heuer buckle. Since the re-launch of the Monaco on the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the original Monaco has gained again huge popularity. However, no re-edition can ever meet the original.

This superb example ticks all the boxes for passionate collectors, with its seductive design, wearability, rarity, and near-perfect condition.
