Item Details
- Location: Port Bolivar, TX 77650
- Country: United States of America
- Lot #: M-0052917-DT
Available for auction is a remarkable pair of vintage Heuer dashboard timepieces: the Super Autavia and the Monte Carlo, both icons of motorsport and aviation history. The Super Autavia, introduced in 1958, is believed to be a Mk 1.5 edition featuring a second-generation case and the Valjoux 5 movement. Hailed as the first dashboard chronograph for motorcars, powerboats, and airplanes, it simultaneously displays Time of Day and Time of Trip, making it a true chronograph with a 30-minute stopwatch capacity. 
Many collectors consider the Super Autavia the ultimate Heuer dashboard timepiece. The serial number, 7643, suggests a manufacture date of July 1964. The Monte Carlo, designed for motorsport enthusiasts, features a stopwatch mechanism with a 12-hour timer, perfect for rallying and endurance racing. Its serial number, 15726, indicates the final version with tritium luminescent hands. 
The seller states both watches are in good condition, showing some patina from being mounted on the dash of my competition vintage rally car, and would benefit from professional cleaning and inspection by a qualified jeweler. They remain operational. 
Don’t miss this opportunity to own two legendary Heuer timepieces making for a perfect holiday gift. The buyer is responsible for shipping, shipping insurance handling, and transactional fees. PCARMARKET is not responsible for anything lost or damaged during shipping.

@seller I don' t think that dirt or debris that can be cleaned. I think it's the numbers degrading and lume coming off. It makes for a nice patina, but it not something that can be serviced, and replacement faces are also 60ish year old and rarer then clocks themselves.

Numbers on the Monte Carlo do need cleaning, which is beyond my capabilities.
I uploaded two additional photos, which still display some light reflections but show the clarity better.

@seller So on the monte carlo the issues with 15, the 5 on the 25, the 45, 55 and 60 are glare? Not worn out numbers on the face?
Each lens is free of cloudiness and scratches. What you are seeing in the pictures are reflections.
I’ll see if I can can shoot improved pictures and post them
