FS: BARN FIND HEUER AUTAVIA 73363 "ORANGE ACCENTS"

Hi guys,
Offering this fabulous Heuer Autavia 73363 "orange boy style".
This is a real barn find even if I am not sure it comes out of a barn. :-)
When i got it it was really super dirty. It took me 2 hours to give it a good clean.
Then I discovered a little gem.

The watch is 100% original and untouched.
Orginal plexi. These manual plexi's are different from the 163 plexi's. Just half a millimeter higher than the bezel insert.

Dial in perfect condition ( the spots you see are all in the plexi ). Orange accents still very bright.
All the original tritium. Just the lume dot at 6 o'clock is gone.

Case still has the original sunburst effect. Some minor scratches. Bevelled edges very sharp.
Both serial number and model number are super crisp. So this case has never been polished.

The watch works perfect, keeping very good time, chrono 100%.
I don't know the service history. I can have it serviced at the buyers' request for an additional 225 euros.
Personally I wouldn't do it since it's working extremely good. But it's possible.

This little brother of the "Villeneuve" is a very interesting reference with a lot of potential in my honest opinion.
Pretty rare find in this untouched condition.

Price: "head only": 4800 euros ( included fully insured shipping )
Option: original black corfam small holes: +375 euros

I give a fill refund in case of any problem or if the watch would not be as described.

Payment: bank transfer or PayPal ( +4% )

Best regards,
Bernard
