Vintage Heuer Haul Among Highlights At Dreweatts Auction
Adrian Hailwood, who helped to make Birmingham-based Fellows a leader in the field, was recently appointed senior watch specialist at historic UK auctioneer Dreweatts and is set to stage his first sale for the house on Wednesday 12 September.
Highlighting the event will be a single-owner collection of more than 30 Heuer watches with a combined estimate of up to £75,000, the star lot being an ultra-rare Carrera 7753 that was among a batch created for the Belgian Air Force and produced only during 1970 using the calibre 7733 movement (rather than the usual 7730). It’s tipped to realise up to £8,000, while a beautifully original triple calendar, yellow-gold chronograph from the 1940s could fetch £3,000–5,000.
