: I singled the above watch out for considerable praise in my review:

: Lot 54 -- Ref. 110.573F, Fume w/ Gray. Carreras from the first
: through the third generations were represented very well at the
: auction, and this is the first of the third (aka
: "barrel") generation watches we saw. 2010 has seen
: something of a resurgence of interest in these Carreras, which
: previously were something of a bargain as far as Carreras were
: concerned. Rarely though are they quite as magnificent as this
: example, with the brushed and polished case finish very clear
: and dial and hands in perfect condition, as these can often fade
: and dull with time. 5 of the 6 barrel models sported these
: Côtes de Genéves dials in various colours and this watch
: demonstrates just how unusually dramatic they were for Heuer at
: the time. £5,000+ is a lot of money for any barrel Carrera but
: justified this time in my opinion.
