Tag Heuer Monaco Le Mans Vintage Calibre 11, 150th Anniversary Limited Edition, 2011, Full Set

Symbolic of TAG Heuer’s history and its close ties to auto racing, this Monaco Vintage is a limited edition of 1,860 pieces, created to mark the 150th anniversary of the Heuer company, founded in 1860. This piece, numbered 1357/1860, dates from 2011 and is offered as a complete set, accompanied by its original box and papers.

The Monaco holds a special place in the history of sports watchmaking. Its instantly recognizable square case has become a true aesthetic signature, made iconic in the early 1970s by Steve McQueen in the film *Le Mans*. This edition captures that spirit while developing a particularly sophisticated identity, dominated by a superb, finely brushed anthracite gray dial, whose shades shift subtly with the light.

The dial is structured by two black square sub-dials with rounded corners, positioned at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, which echo the geometry of the case. The horizontal silver applied hour markers strongly catch the light and give rhythm to the dial’s composition. They are accented with touches of red found on the hands and outer markers, while the large red chronograph hand adds a particularly dynamic touch. This interplay of metallic gray, black, silver, and racing red aptly captures the automotive world with which the Monaco has historically been associated. This distinctive dial design and its horizontal hour markers were, in fact, among the features highlighted during the presentation of this anniversary edition.

The stainless steel case, featuring alternating satin-finished and polished surfaces, retains the Monaco’s famous square architecture, softened on the sides by gently curved lines that give it a commanding presence on the wrist without weighing down its design. Its 39-mm size appears noticeably more imposing than a round case of comparable diameter, which contributes to this chronograph’s assertive character.

At the heart of the watch lies the Caliber 11 automatic movement, visible through the sapphire caseback. The characteristic placement of the crown at 9 o’clock, while the chronograph pushers are positioned on the opposite side, is one of the most evocative hallmarks of the historic Monaco models equipped with Caliber 11. The dial features the vintage HEUER logo, another direct reference to the early models. The chronograph features a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock, a small seconds sub-dial at 3 o’clock, and a date window at 6 o’clock.

The racing spirit extends to the perforated black leather strap, directly inspired by automotive accessories. It is fitted with a Heuer-branded folding clasp, while the crown also bears the brand’s signature. The transparent case back allows the movement to be admired and bears the individual serial number of this limited edition.

Sporty, architecturally designed, and instantly recognizable, this Monaco has a particularly charismatic presence on the wrist. The combination of the brushed gray dial, black sub-dials, red accents, and square case gives it an aesthetic that is distinctly more unique than that of the classic versions. Its limited production run of 1,860 pieces, its Caliber 11, its design directly inspired by the historic Monaco, and its complete presentation with box and papers make this a particularly interesting version for enthusiasts and collectors of the famous Monaco.

Presented in perfect condition and fully serviced, the proper functioning of this watch is guaranteed by us for one year (except in cases of impact or immersion).
