For sale, circa 1971 Heuer Autavia 1163T 'Siffert'
I have struggled to capture just how nice this watch is, thankfully (and linked to with their permission), the watch was photographed by someone far more talented than I, and featured by them in their blog:

Stewart's blog post gives an excellent account of this watch; as he notes, the year makes it a Mk4 with Calibre 11 movement but it has the later Mk6 dial and hands.
The previous owner to me had the watch serviced by Richard Askham of The Watch Spot in August 2014 - at which time the Siffert had: full movement service (clean, inspect, oil, demagnetize, regulate and test). The paperwork for this service is included in the sale. Prior to my purchase, the chrono hand wasn't resetting perfectly and the watch went back to The Watch Spot before coming to me and had this recalibrated.
The case is in excellent condition and the finish is relatively unmarked - dial and hands have a wonderful patina. The blue chrono hand has some minor paint flake at the very tip but I need to squint to see it. The dial has aged to a lovely colour. I cannot see any visible marks on the plexi. The strap is a replica vintage Heuer from Giuliano, is in good condition, and is fitted with a Heuer buckle. I have a lot of high res images, and am happy to provide a link to serious buyers.
The price for this Siffert is £5,500 via bank transfer or cash on collection, if you are UK based and live near Weybridge in Surrey.
However, I would be willing to discuss sending the watch, fully insured, at the buyers expense. I have excellent references on another watch forum and I believe there are people on this forum who will also vouch for me.
No trades please.
Thank you to Chronotrader for the use of this facility and to Stewart for letting me link to his photographs and blog.
