Authenticity and Classification of Vintage Heuer Box *PIC*

Question on Authenticity and Classification of Vintage Heuer Box (Autavia?) – Grateful for Input from Experienced Collectors

Hi everyone,
I recently came across an old Heuer box that I’d like to better understand and classify.
It’s a cardboard box with the typical red front design, featuring an Autavia with a mesh bracelet and the classic Heuer logo beneath.

I’d truly appreciate any insights from experienced collectors regarding its authenticity, production period (likely 1970s?), and potentially which models this box was intended for.
In my opinion, the condition is good – some age-related signs of wear, but overall solid and well-preserved. I’ve attached a few photos (front, back, and interior views).

I’m mainly curious to know whether this is an original piece and how common these boxes are nowadays – as well as any thoughts on its approximate value.

Many thanks in advance for your time and feedback!
Best regards,
Mitch
