I recently received these photos from a reader of their special edition Formula 1- the watch was sold at the Monaco Grand Prix

Never seen this one before- but we have seen the 1999 watch: https://www.calibre11.com/monaco-limited-edition-grand-prix/

That is a nice SE! My first TAG Heuer was its older sibling.

I have seen the exact same dial design somewhere for sale some while ago, and thought already, special series?
I had a limited edition Renault Sport version, no. 552 of the 1500 made, but that white "Grand Prix de Monaco 97" is only 70 times made!
I sold mine to a collector, so it seems they are collectible, those special F1 Chrono editions.

Hi Hubert
I notice this has a red hand hiding back there... what's the score? Is this the same as the Aquagraph with large second and minute hands and a small running seconds?

I think so. I sent it to get the battery replaced last week, so I don't have it with me to check. When I get it back I'll check to be certain.
If you look closely, the other ones pictured on this thread have a 2nd hand too.

Rattrapante movement ETA 251.262, or in short: Double Chrono. The first long hand counts the seconds, the long hand behind that counts the minutes.
