AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IWC Jumbo 'Shark Fin' – or rose 18K (750) – around 1959 – Calibre 89.

IWC wristwatch strap produced in the late 1950s, in a particularly rare Jumbo 'Shark Fin' configuration.

It stands out with its 37 mm case, an important size for the period, and its angular lugs called “Shark Fin,” which are rarely seen on IWC models from that era.
The set, highly sought after, is made of 18-carat solid rose gold, with signatures and hallmarks.

Features:

Case: solid 18-carat rose gold 750/000 (hallmarks)
Diameter: 37 mm (excluding crown)
Base: pressurized
Case number: 1562964
Movement: IWC 89 calibre with manual winding, featuring gold chatons.
Dial: originally, central seconds.
Hands: 18K rose gold
Crown: signed by IWC
Includes: 'Shark Fin', a rarity.

The Calibre 89 is recognized for its reliability and longevity, and remains one of the most appreciated manual movements of the IWC manufacture.

State & Operation
Very good overall condition
Original dial, with no significant oxidation.
Sound case, not excessively polished.
Perfectly functional watch: a preventive maintenance is currently underway for safety and peace of mind for the future owner.

Bracelet & accessories
Camille Fournet alligator bracelet (black)
IWC pin buckle in steel with gold plating (order in progress at IWC)
Original vintage bracelet preserved and included.
IWC transport box included.

Fully made of 18-carat solid gold, in an uncommon configuration, appreciated for its aesthetic balance, Jumbo diameter, and the great rarity of its 'Shark Fin' attachments.
