Description

International Watch Company (now known simply as IWC) in large size, 18K yellow gold case with 'Bombe' lugs and beautiful, original silver dial. Really lovely condition - a supremely handsome watch and unusual to find these vintage IWC's in automatic as most were manual/hand-winding.

Case

Solid 18K gold case is in beautiful condition with no marks, dents, dings, scratches or imperfections. Lovely, large 'Bombe' lugs. Fully hallmarked inside (Swiss) for 18K and most importantly, signed IWC inside the case back - this is not a so called 'contract case' as is often seen with watches from this period. Snap-fit case back fits nice and tightly with no damage to lever-off point (some odd reflections in images but please do ignore them, the case is perfect).

Dimensions are 36mm in diameter (not including crown, 44.5mm including), 11mm thick and 44.5mm lug to lug.

Dial & Crystal

Completely original silver dial is in excellent condition with applied gold 'baton' hour markers and matching original gold hands - some light patina to the dial consummerate with age but is very even and not really noticeable. Dial is signed 'International Watch Company, Schaffhausen', 'Automatic' with 'Swiss' at 6 o'clock..

Crystal is standard acrylic/Plexiglas type and is 'as new'.

Bracelet/Strap

Brand new, very high quality HIRSCH 'London' Alligator leather strap with complementing gold-filled buckle.

We are Hirsch stockists and can change the strap to any from their 'Classic' machine made range, or 'artisanal' range of superb hand-made straps if you desire (subject to cost). Please contact us for further details.

Movement

Calibre 852 automatic movement in excellent, original condition. This movement uses the IWC patented 'Pellaton' winding system. Watch is keeping superb time and has recently been fully overhauled by our vintage specialist watchmaker. Comes with full 12 months warranty for your complete peace of mind.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories

As with the majority of pre-owned watches 5-10 yrs or older, this particular watch does not come with its original boxes or warranty certificate. It does however come with the dark green/beige presentation box shown in the final image. The watch is 100% genuine and rest assured, we give a lifetime guarantee on the authenticity of all the watches we sell.
