I agree with Paul, that a "Siffert" is an automatic Autavia, Reference 1163, with a white dial, black registers and blue accents on the dial.

Perhaps some would say that a particular 73363 or 73463 Autavia is "in Siffert colors" or has the "Siffert color scheme", but I don't see people calling them "Sifferts" [and this is a good thing].

: Hi Jeff

: Is a Heuer Autavia (manual wind) 73363 or 73463 in Siffert colors
: considered to be a collectable "SIFFERT"

: Collectable yes, “Siffert” no – is the simple answer.

: Your questions on the name is an extension on the earlier post
: about the Orange Boy and in the past, these discussions included
: the "Derek Bell" so it's not a new phenomena and
: remains a muddy subject. I don’t plan to stick my neck out and
: define a "Siffert" Autavia but in general terms it
: refers to an automatic 1163 Autavia with white dial and black
: registers (all of 5 or 6 executions) and no orange bits either.

: This is not a new problem and one found across the watch world when
: a particular reference gets a name. The Rolex Daytona Paul
: Newman springs to mind.
: Regardless, the white dial black register Autavia always seem to
: get a premium over the reverse colour scheme. This is the
: "Panda" effect. More often than not this dial
: combination is the one that is most sought after and the one to
: have if the reverse was also an option. Consequently, it comes
: at a price premium over the reverse Panda.

: As to price, this for me is an even muddier subject. With such low
: volume of sales of most of the desirable references who can
: possibly keep track of what the market will bare.

: Hope that helps
