  • Catalogue Essay

    The Silverstone was launched as the replacement for the Heuer Monaco, which was not a commercial success for the manufacture at the time of production. Reference 110.313B is characterized by the blue dial, which displays different tones. Due to the watch's automatic movement, Heuer placed the crown on the left side of the case, meaning the wearer never had to wind the watch. The present watch is preserved in like new condition with its factory sticker to the case back, and is enhanced by the presence of its sales tag and fitted presentation box.
