FS: EXPENSIVE AUTAVIA 1163 PRE-VICEROY WITH ORIGINAL CORFAM

Hi guys,
Offering here a very very nice Heuer Autavia 1163 pre-Viceroy with caliber 11-i.
It's one of the first Viceroy design Autavia 1163 I bought and I always kept it in my personal collection.
It's not NOS, it's not mint but a cal.11-i pre-Viceroy in this condition is becoming pretty hard to find.

Case is just fantastic. I think the pictures tell everything.
Is it untouched? I don't know. But if it has been refurbished I see only one guy who could have done it.
We all know in what direction we must look. I promised the guy to not use his name every time. :-)
Piquerez case with the case-back having a C 089-4 engraving.

Dial is 100% spotless, no often you will see these perfectly white subregisters.
Hands have the original tritium. Very good condition with the minute hand just a very little piece of the red paint missing near the center.
Hour markers have been relumed in my opinion. Great job though.
What I really don't like is that bad chrono seconds hand and the way it has been repainted.
So I will have that changed by a NOS chrono hand at my expense.

Tachymeter bezel in mint condition. No problem using the word mint here. We all know what these bezels are worth.
( around 1500 euros in my opinion )
Original plexi. I guarantee that. And it's not a detail. Try to find an original 1163 plexi.

Watch is mechanically 100%.
I offer a 24 months guarantee on the movement.

When I bought the watch it came with an original black corfam. Condition of the corfam is 98%. Standard stainless steel buckle.
So I decided the corfam have to stay with the watch. It makes the watch a little more expensive but I offer no choice.

Model: Heuer Autavia 1163 pre-Viceroy ( just 1163 between the lugs )
Serial: 223180
Movement: Heuer Caliber 11-i

That's it. The watch has several strong points like the cal. 11-i movement, the fact it's much rarer than the later Viceroy,
great case, great dial, original plexi, mint Tachymeter bezel, etc....
Weak points are the relumed dial and the chrono hand but I will replace that.

Last thing guys, as I said this is not a Viceroy. So please don't compare the price with the price of a Viceroy.
I am pricing this one pretty high. Quality has a price. Corfam is included ( value around 350-400 euros ).

Price: 4200 euros ( fully insured shipping, 24 month guarantee on the movement and original black corfam included )

( I give a full refund in case the watch would not be as described )

Best regards,
Bernard
