On the last day of filming, McQueen gave the timepiece to his personal mechanic, Haig Alltounian, who treasured it for nearly 50 years. Introduced in 1969, the perfect Monaco replica was one of the world’s first self-winding chronograph wristwatches and became famous for its square-shaped waterproof case.
