← The Library · Carrera · 1963 – 1969
The founding Carrera — Jack Heuer's legibility-first design of 1963, named for the Carrera Panamericana: a clean 36mm case, Valjoux 72, a dial a driver could read at speed. The desk's origin reference, the way the first reference anchors every house desk.

Asking prices as displayed; never sales. The full board is in the inaugural report.
Three-register and two-register (2448-family) cars, the NST and the tachymeter scales among them. The bench's top of range belongs to exceptional early cars; the median is where the honest market lives.
Originality of the dial-and-hands set is the first check; the 36mm case wears smaller than modern habit expects, which is precisely its charm for the collectors who keep this bench priced above every automatic Carrera on the board.
Imagery for this dossier arrives through licensed partnerships with the dealers and collectors who own it — Layer 2 of the desk's method. Until then, this page carries no photograph, by design.
The desk's nightly verified sweep (thirteen venues, October 19 – November 4, 2026); the desk charter and reference files, Methodology. Disputed or uncertain points are labeled as such when the desk publishes on them; nothing on this page is a valuation.
