In 1972, Jack Heuer offered to Swedish racing driver Ronnie Peterson for his outstanding performance in the German Grand Prix on the Nürburgring circuit, a one of a kind Carrera 1158 CHN – that watch is on display at the Tag Heuer Museum. Now TAG Heuer has produced a replica of the original to benefit the Ronnie Peterson Memorial Foundation, honouring his legacy and supporting talents in motor sport.
Housed in a 38mm 18K gold case, with a matching gold Milanese bracelet, the Carrera Gold-RP-R features a champagne dial with black subdials and like the original, it has “SUCCESS RONNIE PETERSON FROM JACK.W.HEUER” engraved on the back. Inside is the Jewelled Cal.11 automatic movement.
