- When introduced to the public in 1969, the Heuer Monaco was a pioneering self-winding chronograph wristwatch, notable for its squared case shape - the first of its kind for a chronograph. Along with the self-winding Zenith El Primero, the Monaco was considered one of the most celebrated and innovative timepieces of the era.
- With its iconic and oversized square case made by Ervin Piquerez SA, and its unconventional left-handed crown designed by Jack Heuer himself, the Monaco made waves in the watch world.
- The present Monaco gained immortality when Steve McQueen selected it to wear starring in Le Mans, sealing its legacy as a racer's watch. As with the present "B" variant, his chosen ref. 1133B differentiation denoted the distinguishing blue dial.
- Preserved in very good condition, this is an opportunity to acquire a groundbreaking and distinctive chronograph from a revolutionary time in watchmaking.
This iconic chronograph manufacturer has a long tradition of precision timekeeping. As early as 1882, founder Edouard Heuer held a patent for a chronograph watch; in 1887, he received a patent for an oscillating pinion, which is still in use today. These specialized timepieces have been at the heart of the firm's success, enabling the brand to be chosen as early timekeepers for the Olympics. In 1969, the company introduced their first automatic chronograph watch, the Monaco Heuer, which celebrated the Monaco Grand Prix. Other key chronograph models include the Autavia and the Carrera, all of which having become iconic models of the firm.
