This timepiece is a magnificent artifact from the era that cemented TAG Heuer as the king of the "Six Features" design philosophy. The Professional 2000, reference 665.013F, is defined by its iconic unidirectional rotating bezel with distinct "rider tabs" and a stunning granite-textured silver dial. While many of these were quartz, your specimen is the highly desirable automatic version, powered by a high-grade Swiss movement based on the legendary ETA 2824-2 workhorse. This means you get that beautiful, smooth sweeping seconds hand and a mechanical soul that will last for generations with proper care.
The aesthetic is quintessentially executive-diver, featuring a luxurious two-tone 18k gold-plated and stainless steel finish. The dial is perfectly balanced with a quick-set date at 3 o'clock and "Mercedes" style hands that have developed a beautiful, creamy patina on the tritium lume plots. Flipping the watch over reveals the crisp "Swiss Since 1860" shield and the reference 665.013F, confirming its authentic lineage from the mid-90s. This is an essential acquisition for a collector who appreciates 90s heritage, the mechanical superiority of an automatic diver, and the timeless prestige of a gold-accented TAG Heuer.
