What's on Offer

This delightful 18k gold dress watch from IWC is particularly charming and offered for sale in beautiful original condition. Its mid-size solid 18k gold case boasts elegant downturned lugs and a slim profile, making it perfect for formal wear. The silvery-grey dial has aged gracefully, with a gentle patina that adds depth and vintage charm, featuring applied gold dot hour plots and lumed Arabic numerals at the cardinal points. A shatterproof Plexiglass crystal preserves the classic mid-century aesthetic, while the watch is powered by IWC’s celebrated Calibre 89 — a 17-jewel manual-wind movement renowned for its accuracy and reliability, with a 36-hour power reserve.
