The Tudor Oysterdate 'Big Block' is an exciting model for the brand as it was the first automatically wound chronograph from the Wilsdorf stable in 1976.

The present watch with the 'Monte Carlo' dial is one of the coolest and most vibrant watches that ever produced by the brand. The 'Monte Carlo' dial got its name due to the sub-dials resembling the gaming tables of a casino. The grey and orange dial is in good condition, with matching plots to the hands.

Sotheby's is honored to offer the collection of a former race car driver (in total 28 watches) with proceeds benefiting an initiative to support children of refugees in Germany.
