Dahlgren stated that the Heuer Auto-Rallye and the stopwatch had been used in the Lancia Flavia Coupé that Ove "The Pope" Andersson drove with him as co-driver in the Acropolis Rally in 1966. The Heuer Master-Time, which is of later manufacture, was included in the gift but is not linked to the 1966 competition. Andersson and Dahlgren finished in fourth place in the rally.

Information provided by the seller:
Rolf Dahlgren had been a close friend of mine since childhood. Like me, he became both a sailor and a rally co-driver, competing during his career alongside, among others, Calle Orrenius, Erik Carlsson and Ove “Påven” Andersson. We remained in contact throughout our lives and met from time to time.
In 1993, Rolf told me that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and that he probably did not have long to live. On 12 August 1994, I visited him at his home on Ingarö. Although he was seriously ill, we spent a memorable half-day together.
When it was time to say goodbye, I accompanied him down to the basement, where he kept objects from his years in rallying. There, he took out a Heuer Master-Time, a Heuer Auto-Rallye and a Heuer stopwatch, which he presented to me with the words: “I won’t be needing these anymore.” Deeply moved, I accepted his generous gift.
Rolf told me that the Heuer Auto-Rallye and the stopwatch had been used in the Lancia Flavia Coupé driven by Ove “Påven” Andersson, with Rolf as co-driver, in the 1966 Acropolis Rally.
Ove Andersson and Rolf Dahlgren finished fourth overall in the 1966 Acropolis Rally.
