Harrods’ Hot Heuer
Demonstrating the same impeccable taste as exercised with the Tudor, Harrods has opted for a “panda” dial, white with black counters. The Autavia is part of the generation of motorsport-related Heuers of the 1960s. Vintage examples are currently among the most coveted of period Heuers, still ascending the auction price ladder.
Adding to its appeal is the roster of Formula 1 drivers of the 1960s and 1970s who wore an Autavia, among them Jo Siffert, Mario Andretti, Jochen Rindt, Derek Bell, Clay Regazzoni, Gilles Villeneuve, Jacky Ickx, Emerson Fittipaldi, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti and Björn Waldegård. Adding to the mystique, Steve McQueen wore one as well.
