The manually-wound Heuer Autavia reference 73663 timepiece was introduced in the early 1970s, with a classic, three-register dial layout as the originals from the 1960s, but housed in a more substantial case measuring 42 mm in diameter.

Apart from its simply immaculate condition, the present lot stands out with its stunning black dial featuring “Viceroy” colors. White sub-dials contrast sharply against the matte black main dial, accented by delightful red hash marks at the top of each applied baton hour marker. Fitted with a rotating ‘MH’, or Minutes / Hours bezel, the red chronograph hand complements the red dial accents perfectly. At the 6 o’clock position the “SWISS” designation is featured inside the white subsidiary dial.

The present example of Heuer’s legendary chronograph is preserved in absolutely mint condition – still retaining the original factory brushed and polished surfaces, crisp facets, and sharply defined edges. It comes complete with its typical pierced leather bracelet and steel Heuer buckle, making this an attractive addition to any collection.
