Notes
Among collectors, a “Viceroy” Autavia is a watch that was included in the promotion staged by the “Viceroy” brand of cigarettes. The promotion included both 1163 and 11630 Autavias. The early Reference 1163 Autavias used in the Viceroy promotion were identical to Autavia Reference 1163 NT models being produced before the promotion. We refer to these as “Pre-Viceroy” Autavias.
