FS: FABULOUS HEUER AUTAVIA 73363T "SIFFERT STYLE"

Hi guys,
I am selling another great Heuer Autavia 73363T "Siffert style". It belongs to a friend and I am selling it for him.
The watch was completely overhauled by Abel Court a year ago. He performed a full movement service and did one of his famous case refurbishments.
Take a case done by him, movement serviced by him and combine that with an absolutely perfect dial and what you get is a stunning piece.
On top of that you get a great racing history and the Jo Siffert connection.

So case absolutely perfect. There is some dirt between case and bezel that I can easily take away. Also case-back is great. Just some dirt from sweating that also will come off easily.
I just wanted to show the watch like I got it.

Dial is stunning with all the original lume on the indices. I guarantee that. It glows like it should under UV.
The blue striping at the indices is also absolutely perfect. Bear in mind that that is not always the case.
Correct hands with black inserts that have a slightly different lume color. They also glow under UV like it should but given the different color these may be later replacement hands.

Original plexi. Original Tachymeter bezel. Again we all know what a Tachy bezel ( that will also fit an Autavia 1163 ) is worth.

Mechanically the watch is working perfect. Chrono as well. I give a 12 month guarantee on the movement.

Please note the watch is a reference 73363 but it comes in a case with a 73463 reference between the lugs.
I really cannot say if the watch left the factory like this or not. Fact is that with these manual 70's Autavia's it's not that uncommon.
I once owned a 73463 IDF that was in a 73663 case. I has been discussed here on the forum. Some tend to believe they left the factory this way, some are more skeptical.

Model: Heuer Autavia 73363
Serial number: 216728
Movement: Valjoux 7733

Price: 7500 euros ( fully insured shipping and handmade brown strap from the pictures included )

Payment: Bank transfer or PP ( +4% )

( I give a full refund in case of any issue )

Best regards,
Bernard
