Unique piece, “Jack Heuer” signed dial…
In 2010, TAG Heuer reissued limited edition versions of its 1974 Heuer Silverstone watch — 1,500 pieces in each blue and brown (see live pics here). The original Silverstone was originally introduced in 1974 with its signature “cushion” shaped case, and is named for the famous racing circuit in England. You can read more about the new Heuer Silverstone here and here (my exclusive live pics).
Now we learn that TAG Heuer has also produced a one-of-a-kind Silverstone, this one in a striking red color and with a “Jack Heuer” signature on the dial (Jack Heuer is the modern day patriarch of the TAG Heuer brand). The piece is to be auctioned by Bonhams, with proceeds going to Green Cross International, a charitable organization closely supported by TAG Heuer through their brand ambassador Leonardo di Caprio.
Bonhams estimates the piece will fetch £6,000-£8,000 when it is offered on December 15, 2010. Great color!
Similar to the original Silverstone, the reissue uses a Chronomatic Caliber 11
“the first self-winding automatic chronograph with micro-rotor”
