Watches do far more than tell time, they tell stories. This watch was used by Steve McQueen while filming the 1971 classic ‘Le Mans.’ It was then purchased by mechanic Bev Weston, who was looking after Derek Bell’s No. 8 Ferrari 512 during filming.
Weston went on to work for the likes of Lotus and McLaren, wearing the ‘Le Mans’ Monaco for 40 years. Swipe to see a behind-the-scenes photo of Weston (far right) on set with McQueen.
The McQueen ‘Le Mans’ Monaco will star in ‘Heuer Champions’, part of the Important Watches sale at
#SothebysNewYork this December. Find out more on
