TAG Heuer has every reason to be happy this year. For starters, they won the Red Dot award recently and now they are all set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its glorious Monaco watch. Famously referred to as the McQueen Monaco, this timepiece was personally endorsed by Steve McQueen in the film Le Mans.

Have no doubt, TAG Heuer wants to make this occasion one to be remembered for a long time. And that is just why the brand has launched an updated version of the Monaco watch. So much for the extra touch, the case back of each piece in this limited edition is signed by TAG Heuer honorary chairman Jack Heuer along side an engraving  that says “in tribute to Steve McQueen”.

You hunt for something sporty may end here if you have enough dough to spill over or rather invest. The opportunity is to ink a neat deal with the Porsche driven by Steve McQueen in the Hollywood flick Le Mans. It would be up for auction at Bonhams & Butterfield in the US as a part of its Exceptional Motorcars and Automobili sale. The anticipated price that this coupe may fetch is $2 million.

For that amount, you would own the 1969-70 Porsche 908/2 Spyder that is a 350bhp, 3.0-litre flat-eight air-cooled speedster with a fiberglass body, tubular aluminum space frame and a car capable of hitting 200mph+. Besides driving it in Le Mans, McQueen also took a ride over it in the 1970 Sebring 12 Hours race. If you are making up your mind to possess it then auction is still 2.5 months away, so you can start saving now.

Auction date: 15 August
