The Tag Heuer Monaco and Steve McQueen

McQueen was at the height of his career and he was chosen to star in Le Mans, a motor racing drama which introduced the King of Cool to the TAG Heuer Monaco. His props master Don Nunley pointed out that McQueen had chosen a Heuer patch on his white Nomex race suit and subsequently gave McQueen four Heuer watches to choose from. McQueen chose the most unusual piece out of the bunch – the ‘McQueen Monaco’ model 1133B.
