Two Words We Fear Most: "Auction" & "Customized"

And finally, a very high quality selection of around 100 Heuer wristwatches (as of 1985 better known as TAG Heuer), coming from a private collection of 200 examples produced around 1930 and 1980 – the fruit of 30 years of collecting – which have never before appeared on the market, and included in the selection, the classic Monaco sports models, Steve McQueen, Harley Davidson, Daytona, Silverstone, Carrera… as well as special customized pieces.

The above quotation is from a press release issued by Patrizzi & Co Auctioneers, relating to an auction in Milan toward the end of November. The catalog is not yet available, but it will be fascinating to see these Heuers. It will also be interesting to see whether this market can absorb 100 vintage Heuers.

So what do we expect when we see these "customized pieces"? What might this Harley Davidson Heuer be?

Link to the press release is below; catalog to be available on November 10th. This one should be fun to watch!!
