About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes, manual, dated paper. This is a carefully used watch & never polished, it has some minor scratches on the bracelet that can be removed upon request while the case/bezel is free from dents with a perfect glass. This is a rare limited edition Tag Heuer Carrera chronograph with just 4000 numbered pieces made in commemoration on the 50th anniversary of the last Gran'Prix F1 won by Juan Manuel Fangio (1911-1995). His signature is printed on the dial & the glass back.

J M Fangio is a Argentinian borned to Italian parents. He is a five times F1® Grand Prix world champion & this record stood unbroken for 46 years only to be broken by Michael Schumacher. Fangio raced for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Mercedes, Ferrari & a few others; dominating the F1 in post WWII years then retired in 1958. He sold Mercedes cars after that and was regarded by many as the greatest driver in history. He was also a mentor to Horacio Pagani & personally wrote a recommendation letter to the latter who then found a job in Lamborghini and went on to build Pagani supercars.

Regular pre-owned Carrera Chronos with bracelet are sold for over S$2500 so this is an excellent opportunity to own a very special edition for just a little more.
