Heuer Dato Carrera First Execution Reference 3147N Unpolished

The Heuer Carrera is one of the legendary chronograph designs of the 20th century. Featuring stark angled lugs that were a product of the architecture of the 1960s, the present watch is notably a “first execution” and features an unpolished case. Finding Carreras from the 1960s with in great condition is extremely difficult. The dial is also highly rare and features “Fab. Suisse” indicating it was for the French market. It is paired on a rare Gay Frères bracelet for Heuer.

You can read more about the origins of the Carrera in the in-depth article that I wrote for HODINKEE back in 2013:
