Outstanding International Watch Company solid 18ct rose gold gents wristwatch.
This is an exemplary example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier maker International Watch Company or IWC.
This the legendary calibre 89 movement which is regarded as one of the finest movements ever made and known as "The watchmakers watch" as you can see it is in fabulous condition.
Everything about this was is original, the dial has not been restored or retouched in any way and is in superb condition with very slight fine patina which you would expect from a watch of the age, the hands are also original as is the winding crown, the serrations are crisp and sharp. It has a solid 18ct rose gold case which has been lightly hand polished with a jewellers cloth to bring out the rose colour. It also has swept Bombay lugs which is extremely rare.
As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.
IWC are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class indeed this is the best all original example we have ever had, a rare find indeed.
The watch case is oversize and measures 36.5mm in diameter not including the crown.
A truly exceptional vintage watch.
