1953 Tag Heuer Pre-Daytona Chronograph

Looking for a watch that will set you apart from everyone else? You must be, otherwise why would you be reading this site? Well, we're about to present you with a watch that will not only set you apart from everyone else, but will actually put you on an entirely different planet. It's a Tag Heuer (ok sure, everyone has a Tag Heuer) and it's a chronograph (what's the big deal? every banker I know wears a Daytona). However, this particular Tag Heuer chronograph is coming to us from 1953. 1953? Yes, this was made a full decade before the Daytona was a glimmer in Tag Heuer's eye. So what does that mean exactly? It means this watch is considered the forefather of perhaps the most popular and sought after watch today. Lineage means a lot in the watch game, and this has some of the best we've seen.This comes with a manual movement, reference number 6034 with a nice cream dial. There are very few details given about the watch but it looks to be in great, original shape. The price is, of course, POA, but we are sure this watch will be selling in the $20K+ range. A small price to pay for a watch that could make you the envy of any group of friends. We've talked about the Daytona with the Zenith El Primero movement, and just how ga-ga people are about that. We've talked about Daytonas with faces made out of interesting materials, and how much people love that. So what happens when you combine an El Primero movement with an exceedingly rare face, say a face made out of Porcelain? You get this. This is an 18K yellow gold Tag Heuer Daytona featuring the extremely collectible Zenith El Primero movement, with one of the rarest faces Tag Heuer ever produced; one made of white porcelain. As a reminder, the El Primero Daytonas will never be produced again, and even though we've knocked the value vs money ratio of this particular watch, we can not, and would not, ever deny its place in the world of high-value, investment based collecting. This watch will increase in value, many times over.
