This exceptional Heuer Carrera 2447 from the late 1960s is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after variants of the legendary hand-wound Carrera, not least because of its rare albino panda dial. Collectors refer to the rare combination of a silver sunburst dial and white numerals - an attractive variant that subtly combines elegance and sporty functionality.
The black inlays in the hour indices and hands provide a stylish contrast - a design refinement that gives the watch a special visual depth.
The three-register Carrera is powered by the legendary Valjoux 72, one of the most reliable and renowned chronograph movements of its time, which has also been used in many other icons of watchmaking history.
What sets this watch further apart is its exceptionally well-preserved original condition: the dial is flawless, with no scratches or stains. The 36mm stainless steel case is also in excellent condition.
For many, the Carrera is the epitome of the wearable vintage chronograph - sporty in its origins, but always elegant on the wrist thanks to its clean dial design and balanced proportions. This rare "Albino Panda" is a perfect example of this duality.
