2018 TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf 50th Anniversary CAW211T.FC6440 Limited to 50 Pieces Worldwide – Complete Collector’s Set

Info

The TAG Heuer Monaco ref. CAW211T.FC6440 is one of those rare timepieces that perfectly blend legendary motorsport heritage, iconic design, and ultimate exclusivity. Created in only 50 individually numbered pieces, this model celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40’s first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 under Gulf sponsorship, paying tribute to one of the most recognizable liveries in racing history. Its 39 mm square case—with the signature crown on the left and chronograph pushers on the right—frames a striking blue dial marked by the iconic orange and light blue Gulf stripes, presented in a brighter tone than the standard CAW211R model to better reflect the original GT40 colors.

The sunray finish of the dial, faceted red hands, and polished details create a look that is both refined and resolutely sporty. But it is on the caseback where this model truly reveals its collectability: engraved with “50th Anniversary of the First Gulf Victory” and its unique limited edition number, it stands as a commemorative piece worthy of connoisseurs. Enhancing the experience even further is the special packaging, including a large commemorative box and a hardcover book dedicated to the legendary Ford GT40—an iconic endurance racing car that changed history.

Inside ticks the automatic Calibre 11, based on an ETA movement with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module. It stays true to the original ‘70s layout but meets today’s reliability standards. A slightly domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the transparent caseback allows a view of the movement. From the mechanical heart to the historic design, from the exclusivity of the edition to the outstanding presentation set, this Monaco Gulf stands as a truly coveted timepiece, destined to hold and grow in value. Perfect for discerning collectors and those who appreciate pure racing aesthetics, it embodies a flawless union of glorious past and timeless charm.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The case of the TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Limited Edition CAW211T.FC6440 is in exceptional condition, with original finishes fully intact and showcasing the distinctive angular silhouette that has made the Monaco an icon in watchmaking. It shows no signs of polishing, and the satin-brushed surfaces are uniform and perfectly preserved. While we cannot formally classify it as New Old Stock (NOS), even under magnification it appears to be virtually unworn, offering the impression of a watch that has never been on a wrist.

The perforated leather strap, inspired by vintage racing gloves, is also in near-new condition, with only two subtle creases where the clasp has been closed. The interior is pristine and odor-free, and the HEUER logo engraved on the folding clasp remains sharp and clean—strong indicators that the watch was possibly worn only for boutique display or trial purposes.

The Gulf dial is in excellent condition, with perfectly preserved indexes and hands treated with Super-LumiNova to ensure ideal legibility even in low-light environments.

The domed sapphire crystal is free from scratches or imperfections and retains flawless clarity, enhancing the rich colors and depth of the dial.
