Gorgeous! I love the pink gold.

 

I had the same question (sorry to revive a dead thread) - I saw one in the TAG boutique on 5th ave last year and tried it on, quite liked it but declined to purchase.... I'm interested in picking one up though if anyone has seen them in the wild

 

Don't recall speaking about pricing as I wasn't in a position to buy anything that day; I was bringing my <2yr old Monaco Cal.12 in for service as it had never kept good time. I think it was probably something around US$10k-12k perhaps. It may not have been on sale also; could have just been a demo piece.

This was before the decision to call it CH80 (and far before the decision to kill the movement altogether and turn the brand into a budget Hublot), so it'd have been sometime between the introduction of the 1969, and the premiere at Basel of the CH80.

I will say it was a nice visit to the boutique though, they had a MikrotourbillonS or one of the similar haute horlogerie models that they let me play with for a little while Really mesmerizing to see that in person!

 

I was rereading the article (https://www.calibre11.com/tag-heuer-carrera-calibre-1969-review/) just now and was fawning over how lovely this design is. When we consider all the mutant Carerras of recent years and the Heuer 02 movement making it into a (mutant) Carrera, I really wonder why they are not revisting this gorgeous design.

The date is so well integrated and, if they removed the 'Calibre 1969 Chronograph' text as @Calibre11 suggested in his article, it would be perfect.

 

The CH80s are nice too although I'm not a fan of the date at the 4:30 location. The 1969 design without the additional text does it for me!

 

Stainless would certainly have been more affordable, but the rose gold and anthracite dial work so well. Add in the gold stitching on that strap and you have a winner.

I'd love to snag one..... #dreaming.
