What have I got here?
That my friend is a 'Villeneuve'. It's an Autavia 73663 and is so-called as worn by racing driver Gilles Villeneuve. Very nice! 👍

Thank you! This was my father’s, I don’t know how he came to own it, but he did travel extensively in Europe in the 70’s-80’s.

You’d wait years to find one of these for sale in any condition…this one is incredible. Where has it been the last 50 years???
In its box by the look of it. Certainly hasn't seen much daylight!

Hi, my friend gifted me my favorite watch of his. There is what looks like a model number, 375.513 on the rear, but it is so worn I can't capture in the photo. Can anyone tell me what the year is? I think it is a F1, and probably around the time of the McLaren sponsorship? I don't want to sell it, and dont care the value just curious to know what I have. I see one online that looks very similar from 1995, or was this watch made over many years? Comments? Thanks!

my watch seems to have white lettering on the bezel, although it could have faded to white? the catalog seems to have green lettering on the bezel. does that change anything? would be great if it is a Senna model (Senna in the picture), one of my favorite drivers

i am not able to open the 1992-1993 catalog on the main site, i can only open the 92-93 selection catalog. maybe a website issue?

i can open the catalog using safari, seems to be a chrome issue. i asked my friend and he said it had a green bezel originally, but he is unsure if was changed to white or if it was bleached by seawater

Wow! Just wow!
Another reminder of how much nicer the original Heuer's look. I just don't get why TAG Heuer can't make their re-editions look this good. 🙁
Agree. It’s the perfect watch. I’d love to know how much it sold for. US$50k? Maybe $70k?

I do think it's upwards. As Franz says it's likely a record, and he was at Phillips when the 2446GMT there sold for 75kchf......

Wasn't he referring to the time it took to sell, as in seconds?
