Hi guys,
I am offering the most valuable Heuer watch I ever owned.
It's a second execution Autavia ref. 3646 aka "Mario Andretti".
They don't come up for sale very often. Especially not in this very nice condition.

Please also note the very early serial number for a second execution. This low serial number goes along with the lume triangle bezel. Later 2nd executions came with the non lume triangle bezel. So really a rare bird.

Also very interesting: http://thoughts.onthedash.com/thoughts/autavia-early-in-depth/

Case is guaranteed 100% untouched. Look at the bevels on the lugs and especially the condition of the case-back and you will see yourself how good it is.
Bezel has faded to a very nice blue/grey color.

Dial is extremely good for this 1966 watch. Subdials still really white. No wear or spots on the dial.
Luminous material of hands and indices has that nice creamy color.

The watch was serviced by Abel Court in January 2019.
I give a 12 month guarantee on the movement.

Model: Heuer Autavia 3646 2nd execution
Serial number: 52340
Movement: valjoux 92

The watch will be shipped fully insured with FedEx. I also include a high quality rallye strap by atelierromane.

I know these are hard times and thus not a great moment to sell a watch like this. I priced the watch according to these circumstances. You could say you get a 2nd execution 3646 for the price of a 3rd execution. I am taking that risk. Maybe the buyer will take a risk or maybe it might turn out this was an excellent time to buy. We just don't know. On the other hand I am pretty sure you will have a hard time finding a second execution Andretti at this price. I think most Heuer collectors here will agree. There were times not very long ago when this reference was priced much much higher.

Price: 13.500,00 euros ( FedEx shipping and rallye strap included )

Payment: Bank transfer is preferred / otherwise PayPal ( add 4% )

( I give a full guarantee in case of any issue )

Best regards,
Bernard

 

Wow, great looking early Autavia Bernard and at a very good price.
Vintage Heuer's have taken a hit in the market over the last year, but this one should be snapped up.
I don't see this one, in this condition being available at a lower price, ever.....

Heuer was doing pretty well again the past 6 months, Brook. But of course the recent Corona drama has hit the complete vintage watches market. And that is very normal I think. People have other problems to worry about.
Thanks for the kind words.

 

very nice. would you consider trades ? if so what would be a good fit ?

Well done, @bernarddevos

 

Ughhhhhh I am GUTTED that I didn't see this! Absolutely would have picked it up...my favorite Autavia.

 

Going to California

Hahaha someone did a pretty good deal indeed. But no worries I still have a couple Andretti's in my collection.
So who knows in the near future.
Cheers,
