Notes
Produced featuring a black dial with silver dials, the Heuer Autavia 7763C was launched in 1968 and featured depending on the year either a black dial featuring white seconds scale or later in white and red. This particular example features a rare prototype silver Panda dial that was produced by Heuer probably as a test but never made it into production. To ensure the authenticity of the dial, the watch was sent to Tag Heuer in Switzerland for a full overhaul which was made in June 2016 in the amount of CHF 1380. A rare opportunity to acquire an Autavia featuring a prototype test dial.
