Don't miss your chance to own one of the most collectible, vintage wristwatches on the market. This fine example is in very good, original, unpolished, working condition. The watch was recently verified as authentic by Kirk Jewelers in Miami, FL; one of the Country's oldest and most respected Heuer dealers. As noted in the authenticity letter, watch includes TWO crowns, both Heuer, one signed and likely original. Watch also includes a VERY RARE rotating 24-Hour Bezel. Band is a contemporary reproduction.
Deriving its name from the combination of the words "automobile" and "aviation", the Heuer Autavia chronograph wristwatches from the 1960s were often found on the wrists of professional race car drivers.
With its beautiful black dial with contrasting white subsidiary registers, the present Autavia Reference 2446 from 1966 is an especially sought after model. Known among collectors as the "Jochen Rindt", the watch was named after the famous Formula One driver Karl Jochen Rindt (18 April 1942 – 5 September 1970) who was often photographed wearing a similar example.
Featuring a 24 Hour Bezel, an over-sized case measuring 38.5 mm in diameter, and a high quality dial manufactured by Singer, it is a superb piece that ticks every box for watch enthusiasts. This chronograph is in VERY GOOD, original condition.
It is a true treasure for the discerning collector.
