Heuer “Jochen Rindt” Autavia
This third execution three-register Autavia chronograph has garnered the nickname the “Jochen Rindt Autavia” as the legendary Formula One driver wore a similar reference 2446 while racing in the 1960s until his untimely death in 1970.
The combination of features that this watch possesses, including the Valjoux 72 movement and the “inverse panda” dial made by Singer make this watch somewhat similar to 1960s Rolex Daytona models, and it is thus no surprise that these have risen significantly in value and interest the past two years.
The present watch offers collectors a rare opportunity to buy a stunning "Jochen Rindt Autavia."
