For me the connection to who wore it is important. The 73663 worn by Gilles Villeneuve gets into my grail list. And currently no stratospheric prices....

 

The Autavia's are the epitome of Vintage!!!
Absolutely beautiful pieces!!

 

That Heuer is gorgeous!
What are they going for these day's?

 

you might find one for less than $10K. Which considering some prices are in excess of $100K make them a bargain!

 

Have to love a Panda!

 

If you're wanting a Silverstone than Auctionata has one for grabs on the 27th of this month

My grails Rindt and 1163 Siffert

 

Thanks David!

 

I have both, 01 and 02T, love them both..

 

I now own both, the original 1133B and CAW211P..

 

The holy grail in Heuer... Steve McQueen 1133B Cal. 11, my latest catch..

 

My love & passion for cars & motorsports has led me to Heuer / TAG Heuer and a deeper appreciation of its astounding intertwined history with F1 racing. And going full circle back to motorsports, i can’t help but to think of these 3 iconic Heuer Chronographs named after the 3 most iconic and longest running Formula1 racetracks up to date. Cars & Watches. Heart & Soul.

Heuer Monaco (Steve McQueen)
Heuer Monza (Niki Lauda Ferrari)
Heuer Silverstone (Clay Regazzoni Ferrari)

These are my Holy Grails

 

For me the Heuer grail would be one of the latest and coloured PVD Autavias, either the black PVD or the olive green one - I'd be super-happy with both but likely even more with the latter.

 

Interesting question and the answer would, I am afraid, be a little too revealing. Suffice to say, there are some configurations of first gen Carrera that I expect exist, but have not yet come to light. Cryptic enough?

Failing that, copper text 2447 Ns (that's plural N, rather than the NS panda). I know the dials exist because I have seen them at the TAG Heuer HQ, albeit only mounted on a board, but not yet in the wild.

 

Since we're reviving this thread, I am amending my choice above, to a NOS Siffert Autavia, or a Panda Carrera. But I'd happily take the McQueen Monaco as well as part of a 3-watch collection. None of the below images are mine (unfortunately!)

 

Nope!

 

Wowsers!
