TAG Heuer’s new Monaco Gulf Special Edition 2017 is a special edition version of the model worn by Steve McQueen, and helps celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gulf Racing.
The Monaco Gulf Special Edition’s dial features the same blue and orange racing stripes and Gulf logo as Porsche 917 which McQueen raced in the movie, which just sold for $14 million. The distinctive color scheme is echoed by the blue perforated leather rally strap accented with orange stitching.
