Heuer Autavia 3646

Heuer Autavia Reference 3646 “First Execution” Unpolished

One of the most attractive Autavias is the First Execution Autavia reference 364 which features “Big Subs” (or “Big Eyes”) from the early 60s. These early Autavias are considered “Holy Grail” pieces amongst the Heuer collecting community. The dial has a very beautiful patina throughout the hour markers with slight fading on the exterior of the 12 and 6 numerals. Often, these early Autavias get damaged within the white registers, however, this example has remained very clean. The two-register 3646 features a more symmetrical look than the 2446 and you can enjoy the attractive luminous numeral at 6:00 on the 3646. The case is unpolished. The watch comes from the original owner and features a cool Virgin Islands engraving on the back. It is powered by the manual-wind movement (Caliber 92 made by Valjoux) and is 39mm in diameter.
