HEUER Carrera silver dial automatic chronograph

Model Code: 1153

SOLD

This 1153 automatic carrera is in fine condition , just back from a full service and ready to go. Dating from the mid 70’s it is a watch with a racing heritage, bought from the original owner who is still involved in formula one…… he told me that as a young boy with his father who worked as a mechanic in F1, whilst in the pits John Surtees came along and gave him the watch! we have no proof of this so the watch is priced without provenience, we do have the original guarantee booklet which will come with the watch, interestingly it is stamped Heuer Switzerland which would suggest that the story could well be true as promotional watches would come direct from the factory and not the British agent or any retailer.
