AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A piece of watchmaking history. Now almost impossible to find. One of the first Heuer Leonidas chronographs, pre-Carrera Bi-Compax. I see it well on the wrist of someone driving a vintage car.
18k gold case signed by the manufacturer Heuer Leonidas, with a diameter of 36 mm, in excellent condition given its age.
Clean movement, also signed in all its parts.
It works well, keeps time, and all the chronograph functions are okay.
The buckle is an original Heuer but not from the correct era.
