While a wide array of variations was produced, the Autavia 1163 is the most sought-after model which houses the caliber 11. The moniker of Autavia 1163, “Jo Siffert”, is named after the renowned racecar driver and two times winner of Formula 1 .
The present Autavia 1163 features a signature black tachymeter bezel which was specially designed for racing drivers. Absolutely eye-catching, the rare and awe-striking “Jo Siffert” black/white dial and blue accents give the watch a special and distinctive appearance. A key feature of all Autavia 1163 cases are the fluted pushers. The distinctively placed crown at 9 o’clock is always signed. The present example is one of an extremely limited number exist to the market.
