About the Heuer Monaco

Launched in 1969 with the automatic Chronomatic Calibre 11 microrotor movement, the Monaco's left-side crown and square case were revolutionary. The blue 1133B worn by Steve McQueen is the most famous of all.

Notable vintage Monaco references

Vintage references we regularly assess include:

• Reference 1133B — blue 'McQueen' dial
• Reference 1133G — grey dial variant
• Calibre 11 / 12 automatic chronograph
• Left-side crown early cases
• Original dials, hands and pushers, often replaced

Originality on a vintage Heuer Monaco

On a vintage Heuer Monaco, dial originality, correct hands, the left-side crown and a sharp square case matter as much as the reference. Refinished dials and replacement parts affect value, and we explain what we find.

What affects the value of a Heuer Monaco

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a vintage Heuer Monaco:

• Reference and dial variant
• Dial originality and correct printing
• Square case and crystal condition
• Movement (Calibre 11/12) and condition
• Originality of crown, pushers and hands
• Provenance, box and papers where present

Selling a Heuer Monaco without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a vintage Heuer Monaco without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Heuer Monaco

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
