The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique weekend that takes place every two years, is one of the highlights of the classic-car racing calendar. More than 200 grand prix cars representing 50 different car makers enter each event. Selected for their historical value and degree of originality, they compete in seven series spanning the periods from the 1930s to the 1970s. Drivers from more than 21 countries took part in the 2018 edition.
The new chronograph was designed especially for the occasion and features the signature red-and-white colour code that is reminiscent of striking sports cars from the world of motor racing. At the 1 o’clock position on the crimson brushed dial is a small silver historic car logo of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique.
