Introduced to the public in 1969, the Heuer Monaco was one of the very first self-winding chronograph wristwatches available in the market and was also the first chronograph wristwatch to incorporate a square-shaped case. Alongside the self-winding Zenith El Primero, the Monaco was considered as one of the foremost celebrated innovative wristwatches from the era.

Iconic and praised by many, the oversized square-shaped cases were made by Ervin Piquerez SA, with its paradigmatic left-handed crown specifically designed by the late Jack Heuer. Worn on the wrist of Steven McQueen in film “Le Mans”, the popularity of the Monaco grew even more. Featuring a rare transitional dial with “MONACO” on top of “Heuer”, the midnight blue dial stands out amongst all yielding various shades of blue.
