    Vintage early 1970’s Heuer chronograph Ref. 73473 S with matching papers; SN 244xxx

    Price: $2575 shipped to U.S. addresses

    Details

    Dial: Attractive silver “panda” dial with charcoal gray registers and Tachymeter ring. Swiss text above date window. Eye-catching red chrono hand. Intact lume dots on the hour markers and matching lume on the “sword” handset. Very nice patina. White date wheel.

    Case: Stainless steel case is in good condition and shows signs of wear indicative of its age. Some scuffs, scratches and small indentations are visible. Brushed factory finish is still present (over the years many of these Heuer chronographs had their original satin finish texture polished away to a shiny, mirror-like quality). Edges remain sharp. 38 x 42mm diameter. Reference and serial numbers are well defined.

    Movement: Valjoux cal. 7734 manual-wind, date.

    Crystal / Crown: Original acrylic crystal. Unsigned crown (how it left the factory).

    Bracelet: Heuer signed stainless steel bracelet.

    Accessories: Heuer guarantee card with original owner’s name, Heuer tag / vendor card. Serial number is matched to both documents, each dated 1971.

    Condition: Offered in as-is condition, this Heuer 73473 S should be serviced upon purchase. Watch winds and keeps time but is off approximately 13 seconds per day. The movement is extremely dry. Chrono is fully functional and re-sets to 12:00. Handset is free of corrosion. Dial is nearly perfect. Original crystal shows scuffs and scratches. A sensitive case refinishing could be undertaken, if so desired.
