The V4’s high-tech movement is mechanically the same as the original, but the finishes have been completely reworked.

A high-resistance black ruthenium coating was used on the base plate and the Côtes de Genève decorated bridges. The black finish contrasts with the white “V4″ and TAG Heuer” engravings on the dial, as well as the patented transmission and white rewind belts (made of high-tech white polymers exclusively developed for this timepiece).

The strap is in ultra-soft, large-scale alligator, with anthracite hand stitching and a rubberized leather lining. Limited to 200 pieces worldwide.

TAG Heuer’s Monaco V4 flagship continues to act as a halo of the brand and retails for $72,300.
