The Silverstone was meant to be an iconic design successor for the square
shaped Monaco and first appeared in the 1974 Heuer catalogue where Clay
Regazzoni in a racing suit wore one on a steel strap while sitting in the Ferrari 312 T Formula 1 car.
Along with the blue version, Heuer also released the model in red and 'fume' (brown).
The current lot is a great example of the red Silverstone with the vivid hue of
the dial offering a real coup for collectors. Despite their extensive catalogue
of models it is only the Silverstone that Heuer ever produced with this colour
dial.
As a model the Silverstone had a short product life cycle and after three
years of production it was last shown in the 1977 catalogue.
