SUMMARY

The Monaco is one of the most iconic and important watches in modern watchmaking. With its distinctive square case, it was the first automatic chronograph watch to hit the market in 1969, narrowly beating out Zenith and Seiko. The model line was also made famous through its association with the ’King of Cool’, Steve McQueen. The distinctive and timeless design has endured over the decades, as we see here on this 2010 example.

The case is finished in stainless steel surrounding a black dial with contrasting white markers and hands, and is secured to the wrist via a multi-link stainless steel bracelet. Internally, the watch is powered by the calibre 17 ND, which provides 42-hour of power reserve.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
