That's the earlier 'more sought after' model Craig, so I'd expect more money for one of these. It's swings and roundabouts, for every high priced example, I'm sure you can find a low priced example too.

IMHO, some Heuers are still competitively priced when you look at the 'competition'. A nicely sorted Autavia can still be yours for $3k, not bad for a chronograph with a shed load of real motorsport history behind it. Take a nice V72 Autavia, or Carrera.. compare that with a Daytona.. cheap as chips!! I think nowadays, serious collector who have never dipped their toes into heuer are starting to see the appeal, and they have big buying power.. they want one Heuer, a mint, correct, clean example, and will pay over the odds for such an example.
Whereas us collectors.. we want a box full of them, so have to take it easy!! (all IMHO of course)

What does distort the market sometimes is when a seller has a 'regular' Heuer, say an Autavia, but they see a rare Autavia sales price, and they think that's what theirs is worth. ie. Orange Boy 1163 sells for $7k, so the Viceroy must be worth $7k, etc.
