This is the rare reference 1133G of the Heuer Monaco with a charming gray dial from 1972.
The first Heuer Monaco 1133 was presented in 1969. Today this watch is an undisputed icon. But why? Let's start with the movement, which is one of the most important in the history of the watch industry. Together with the Zenith's El Primero, the caliber 11 is the first automatic chronograph in the world. The next specialty of the Heuer Monaco is its shape. The square case was a completely new and unique design at the time, designed by Ervin Piquerez for Heuer. And last but not least, this watch owes its icon status to the fact that Steve McQueen had a blue Monaco on his wrist in the movie Le Mans.
The blue version of the Heuer Monaco is better known, but the gray reference 1133G is much rarer. This particular Heuer Monaco has an unpolished case and a flawless dial. Another special fact about this offer is the original warranty certificate, which shows the date of sale of this watch. Accordingly, this Heuer Monaco 1133G was sold on May 26, 1975 in Holland. In addition, the watch is accompanied by a red Heuer presentation box, which will delight a discerning collector.
The rarity, excellent condition and valuable accessories make this Heuer Monaco a very attractive and sought-after vintage watch.
