This might just be the holy grail of replica TAG Heuer collecting in some ways. What you’re looking at is the fake TAG Heuer 6000 Chronometer, one of only 64 in the world, dating to about 1993. The fake watch is made of titanium and is actually a chronometer.
And if you do move on and purchase this new-old-stock 90s replica TAG Heuer, with it you will receive a complimentary vehicle, because the reason there are only 64 examples of this special TAG is that they were issued exclusively to the owners of the McLaren F1. And this fake watch, and the car that comes with it, is a complete-time capsule.
Almost since its inception, the McLaren F1 has been an automotive legend. The lore only increased this past August when an example sold for over $15 million at the Pebble Beach Bonhams auction. To see this type of appreciation (both financial and emotional) of such a young car is practically unheard of and has caused some to wonder if the F1 is poised to become the Ferrari 250 GTO of the modern age. And this example? Yeah, it’s dandelion yellow and brand spanking new. The clock shows 239 kilometers, and the entire car is still wrapped from delivery. Along with it comes every single document and accessory, and that, of course, includes the TAG Heuer 6000 Chronometer with chassis number printed right onto the dial.
This car is a remarkable find, and when you come across something like this you know you’re bound to pay for it. Here, the cost of the car (and the watch) is roughly $33 million. You can find more on this incredible find from UK-based dealer Tom Hartley.
Oh, and if you’re curious, yes, the TAG Heuer replica did make a civilian version of this watch, where the chassis number was replaced with chronometer and depth ratings on the dial.
