This is quoted from Calibre 11's previous "Ultimate Guide to the TAG Heuer 2000". Unfortunately, the guide no longer exists, but the text of the article remains on the TAG Heuer website.

TAG HEUER 2000 EXCLUSIVE GOLD


In the early 2000s, TAG Heuer offered solid gold chronometers as part of the 2000 Series collection. The basic gold watch (WN5140) featured a Chronometre Calibre 5 movement (ETA 2824-2) and retailed for well over USD 10,000. At the top of the line, there was the WN5141 featuring a diamond accented bezel and dial (plus a sapphire at top of the bezel and on the crown) and a price tag of close to USD 50,000.

I hope you can find one, the last time I saw one it was being melted down for scrap. 🙁

OK now I need some advice. I found one at an estate sale house in Pennsylvania. The company is asking 15,000 for it. Is it worth it?

As a watch... probably not. I don't know the scrap value, but that's probably what they are basing it on. At the end of thd day it really depends how bad you want it and how much $15k is to you.

I would agree. If it were a vintage Rolex, then it would be even more and that's not even considering the gold! Watches are a funny thing when it comes to what determines their value.

If it's your dream watch and you can afford it, then why not... especially if you think you are going to keep it for a long time. Chances are gold ain't ever going to drop that much so in twenty years your watch might be worth more than that in scrap and you could end up owning it for free.
