Heuer, Monaco, 1970's, 1133B, Stainless Steel

€ 25.000

Introduced in 1969, the Heuer Monaco was one of the most daring wristwatch designs ever brought to market — a square, water-resistant chronograph that broke every convention of traditional watchmaking. Created under the leadership of Jack Heuer, the Monaco was also among the very first automatic chronographs, powered by the groundbreaking Calibre 11 and instantly recognizable for its bold geometry and avant-garde spirit.

This Heuer Monaco Ref. 1133B from the 1970s represents the most iconic execution of the model, featuring the legendary blue dial with contrasting white chronograph registers. The square stainless steel case, with its sharp lines and distinctive left-side crown placement, reflects the revolutionary construction that made the Monaco a technical as well as aesthetic milestone. Its unconventional design, paired with true chronograph pedigree, cemented its place in horological history.

Inside beats the automatic Calibre 11 chronograph movement, a pioneering collaboration between Heuer, Breitling, and movement specialists Büren and Dubois-Dépraz. This movement marked a turning point in watchmaking, ushering in a new era of self-winding chronographs and placing the Monaco at the forefront of innovation.

The present example stands out for its exceptional state of preservation. The stainless-steel case retains sharp edges and strong factory definition, while the dial remains vibrant and well-balanced, preserving the bold visual character that defines the reference. Remarkably, the watch is preserved in near-new condition, still retaining its original caseback sticker — a rare detail that underscores its careful storage and minimal wear over the decades.

Even more notably, it is offered complete with its original box and warranty, an increasingly rare and highly desirable full set that significantly enhances the watch’s collectability and historical appeal.
