Collectors prioritize this reference for its Calibre 11 movement, one of the first automatic chronograph calibers ever developed, characterized by its left-sided winding crown. The \"1133B\" variant features a blue metallic dial with horizontal hour markers and white sub-dials, while the \"1133G\" features a grey dial. Its historical significance is tied to its use by Steve McQueen during the filming of Le Mans. Current secondary market prices typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 depending on condition and dial execution. Early \"Transitional\" models or those with \"Chronomatic\" branding on the dial are rarer and command higher premiums at auction, with exceptional examples occasionally exceeding $50,000 in specialized sales.", "score": 199}, {"slug": "heuer-monaco-1133b-steve-mcqueen", "brand": "Heuer", "ref": "1133B", "model": "Monaco Steve McQueen", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/heuer-monaco-1133b-steve-mcqueen", "description": "The Heuer Monaco reference 1133B was produced between 1969 and approximately 1975. Collectors prioritize this reference as one of the first automatic chronographs, powered by the Calibre 11 (and later Calibre 12) movement, characterized by its left-sided winding crown. The 1133B features a blue metallic dial with horizontal hour markers and a square 38mm stainless steel case designed by Ervin Piquerez S.A., which provided the first water-resistant square housing. Its historical significance is tied to its use by Steve McQueen during the 1971 filming of Le Mans. On the secondary market, standard production examples typically range from $15,000 to $30,000 depending on condition and transitional dial variations. A notable auction result occurred in 2020 when a 1133B gifted by McQueen to his mechanic sold for $2.2 million, though standard \"McQueen\" models remain valued for their original matte blue finishes and unpolished case geometry.", "score": 84}]}
