The Heuer Monaco reference 1133 was one of the first self-winding chronograph wristwatches ever produced. In fact, its launch in 1969 coincided with the presentation of Zenith’s “El Primero” and scholars from both camps still debate today which of the two really deserves the title of the first self-winding chronograph ever made. But this is not the right place for this discussion.The present example of Heuer’s legendary chronograph is preserved in absolutely mint condition, still retaining the original Heuer sticker on the case back. It also comes with its original presentation box, typical pierced leather bracelet and period steel Heuer buckle. Since the re-launch of the Monaco on the occasion of the 40th anniversary, the original Monaco has gained again huge popularity. However, no re-edition can ever meet the original, especially when (still today) it is so conservatively valued as the present “eleven-thirty three”.
