Re: Military Autavias ?
In Response To: Military Autavias ? ()

The Patrizzi & Co auction in Milan 28 November 2009 featured 129 lots of Heuer watches. Quite a few were withdrawn and when you look at the examples in the catalogue its not surprising. There were two examples of this Portuguese military watch but both were withdraw. They were the San Tome and Cabo Verde dials with strange and different minute, hour and chrono hands. The register hands were black and they looked to be in mint condition just like these three. The movement is stated as Valjoux 7736. I believe if you found the source of this collection you would find the answer to the question. There were some amazing watches in the catalogue, the figment of someone’s vivid imagination but the majority of these were withdrawn. The rest can be viewed here:
