The Heuer brand has long been associated with measuring speed, and the 1940s to 1950s was one of the manufacture's most productive periods. It was during these years that the manufacture solidified its DNA in creating sporty and creative timepieces.

The present Heuer is a triple calendar chronograph and brings immense value to the wearer and is a sight to behold. Not only a complicated timepiece, it is distinguished by its extremely impressive and virtually unpolished condition - traits that are virtually unheard of today, particularly because most Heuer timepieces were originally purchased to be used as tool watches. The condition of this timepiece is incredible - the lugs are incredibly sharp with crisp beveling, and the contrasting polished and brushed finishes are undoubtedly original, and display how the timepiece originally left the factory. Furthermore, there is a crisp Portuguese import mark stamped on the upper left lug. It would have disappeared if the watch had been re-polished in any way. The stunning and incredibly rare salmon dial barely shows any sign of aging, and the case remains as crisp as it was the day it left the factory. Such gems hardly appear on the market, no less is such untouched and original condition.
