The Monaco Reference 74033 in either the Blue or the Gray dial is exceptionally rare. I would estimate that we see one of these offered for sale on the market maybe every year or two. Difficult to guess the number of these watches that might have been produced, but that is what we see (or don't see) on the market. Not sure whether there were more or less of the black ones produced, but for sure the black ones sell for higher prices and attract more attention.
Thinking back on the last couple of 74033 Blue and Gray that we have seen on the market, I believe that they sell for considerably less than the 1133 Blue (McQueen model); perhaps at parity with the 73663 models, but perhaps some premium for the scarcity.
It's a great watch. If you can post of send me the full serial number, I will have a look at my list and let you know what I see -- early sample, late sample, etc.
Enjoy this awesome watch!!
