Description from the seller
I am selling this magnificent and rare dress watch from the prestigious Swiss manufacture IWC, dating from the late 1950s. A timeless model, of great elegance, perfect for vintage watch enthusiasts with character.
Main features:
Case: 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000) round in shape, characterized by its short, discreet lugs called "Stubby Lugs", and an crown-winding crown integrated at 3 o'clock. Diameter: 34 mm (classic and elegant size for a vintage watch).
Dial: Silvered, domed dial with applied indices in yellow gold and hands in yellow gold. Signed "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" at 12 o'clock. Very beautiful light and authentic patina.
Movement: Manual-wind mechanical, Calibre historical 401 (functions: hours, minutes, seconds).
Serial numbers: Movement no. 1406*** / Case no. 1465***
Bracelet: Brown genuine leather strap with a gold tang buckle.
Overall condition: The watch is in very good mechanical and aesthetic condition, confirmed by a recent appraisal:
Case & Bracelet: Good condition, light signs of normal wear (slight signs of wear that add to its vintage charm).
Dial: Good condition, very light natural patina attesting to its authenticity.
Operation: All functions operate perfectly.
Technical data: Excellent amplitude (about 250°) and a rate of about +25 seconds/day (very high performance for a mechanical watch of this era).
A rare collectible piece to find in this state of operation and conservation.
