If you like old watches, chances are you like old things. And if you like old things, you may be a Pawn Stars fan. You know, the History channel's look at a family-run Las Vegas pawn shop and the unbelievably strange stuff that comes through its doors? Well on a recent episode, all vintage watch nerds' hearts went aflutter when a watch showed up. But it wasn't some boring old Rolex or gold Patek Philippe. Nay, it was a Heuer, and a damn cool one at that.

On this episode, a gentleman brought in a watch originally purchased by his father. And that watch was a "Siffert" Autavia. These rare white dial Autavias are a little bit like the "Paul Newmans" of the Heuer world, selling for many times what a normal Autavia might bring (but remember, this is a Heuer, so we're still not talking CRAZY money). The watch here, while it has original packaging and completed paper booklets (rare), does not have an original bracelet. That is no biggie in the opinion of this publication as it may have simply originally come on a black corfam strap. The bracelet was the costlier option. It has a rare decimal bezel instead of a tachymetre bezel. We only know of a few automatic Autavias with decimal bezels and they were likely custom-ordered by customers. Decimal bezels were used for operations and time management purposes, allowing the wearer to divide the hour into 100 units. It is something that was more common in the 60s and 70s, which is why you see that on some of the Heuers from that era as well as some of the Zenith El Primeros, such as the A386 and G581.

Rick, the main Pawn Star, doesn't spot this, nor can he remove the caseback, and offers him $8,000 for it.

And guess what? It already sold.
