While the iconic blue-dial Monaco rightfully claims its legendary status, connoisseurs know that its gray-dial counterpart is an even scarcer treasure - particularly in this first-execution Ref. 1133G, distinguished by its tone-on-tone gray subdials (later replaced with black registers).
This greatly preserved example with its pristine gray dial exudes a striking, but at the same stylish coolness. As one of the pioneering watches powered by the groundbreaking Caliber 11, it represents not just a chronograph, but a revolution on the wrist.
The case remains honestly worn, making this Monaco a rare find that balances collectible prestige with everyday wearability. A watch that doesn’t just tell time - it embodies horological history with unmatched individuality.
