Lot Essay
The Heuer Auto-Graph was originally produced in 1953 and was in production for a very short time. The first edition featured Arabic numerals, large registers, and the blue outer track for the unit-counter. The present watch is an example of this and features an original dial and hands. Made for Abercrombie & Fitch, these watches feature a chronograph function and unit-counter. The pusher on the left-side of the case controls the blue-tipped hand, which will complete a full-revolution of the dial with 60 pushes.
