Description
We are proud to offer you this wonderful example of a Heuer Autavia GMT 2446 - the Holy Grail of Heuer vintage watches.

This is the very first version of the Heuer Autavia GMT, which today is one of the most important and collectible timepieces of the 20th century. Fewer than 20 examples are known to exist worldwide.

The special feature of this watch is the flawless dial and the cream-colored tritium luminous material in the indices and hands. The high-contrast reverse panda dial with three white sub-dials is housed in a 39 mm stainless steel case. The case of the first version was screwed down and had elegant lugs with beveled chamfers. The time in the second time zone can be read on the red-blue pepsi rotating bezel with the help of the 24-hand. The overall look of this watch on the wrist is absolutely stunning.
