FS: Heuer Carrera Dato 12 Early Case Fat Style Ref 2547S

For Sale is an Early Case Fat Lugs Carrera 12 Dato, Reference 2547S with White registers on White dial. This is one of the classiest Heuer and considered by many a vintage chronograph “grail”.

• This watch has a fabulous pedigree, as the seller I bought it from informed me that exchanged hands among some of the finest collectors and gentlemen of the OTD circle.
• It is the very watch shown on the OnTheDash archive. Not a fac-simile, not a look alike, but the actual watch you can see at:

• The dial is in great conditions and the numbers on the outer date ring are still very sharp and in bright blue.
• The Early Case appears to be in its original finish, with minimal sign of wear for a watch approaching 50 years of life.
• Although serial number is not visible, the early case fat style places the watch among the first production runs of Carrera 12 Dato.
• The watch has just been fully serviced by Gian Carlo Martini in Parma, Italy ($830USD cost). All the functions are working properly and the watch is ready to go on the wrist.
• All the parts seem to be original.
• The watch comes with a wonderful new leather strap by Jean Paul Menicucci visible on the photos below, with a generic buckle
• Asking price is $8,000 USD. Shipping and insurance of buyer’s choice are additional. Watch is located in New York City.
• Accepted payment by bank wire or check.
• Reference to be provided upon request, if I do no know the buyer.

This is a very rare opportunity to own a rare watch, in great shape, with an incredible pedigree. Any question, please email me. Thanks for looking and to ChronoTrader for the space
