Vintage Heuer Carrera 1153 Mick Jagger - Original Bracelet for sale

Description ▲

Here you see the Heuer Carrera Ref. 1153N from 1970, featuring a striking blue metallic dial with contrasting white sub-dials. This model was famously worn by Mick Jagger, which helped it achieve true cult status.

This vintage chronograph belongs to the legendary family of automatic Carreras, powered by the Calibre 11, developed in 1969 – one of the world’s very first automatic chronograph movements. Prior to that, the Carrera was produced exclusively as a hand-wound model with Valjoux movements. A distinctive hallmark of the Calibre 11 is the crown positioned on the left side of the case. The new automatic Carrera was offered in several dial configurations, and this version ranks among the most desirable.

The stainless steel case is in excellent condition, retaining sharp edges and showing only minimal, honest wear. The dial is beautifully preserved; the sub-dials display a gentle, natural patina that adds to the watch's vintage charm – exactly the kind of authenticity collectors appreciate.

Completing the look is a rare Gay-Frères bracelet from 1969 – comfortable to wear and cool in appearance.

Overall, this Heuer Carrera 1153N stands out as an impressive collector's piece of historical importance and at the same time as a stylish, reliable wristwatch suitable for everyday wear.
