1940 - 1960
Description

This is an exemplary example of a solid 18ct gold gents classic slimline wristwatch made by the world renowned premier maker International Watch Company or IWC.

The IWC Calibre 401 movement is relatively rare, more refined and slimmer than the earlier calibre 89 and was made in much smaller numbers.

Calibre 401 is fitted with Breguet hairspring, incabloc shock proofing and micro regulator - the watchmakers watch!

The watch is 34mm in diameter without the winding crown.

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 example we have had for many years.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition, it looks as if it was rarely worn, it would make the perfect gift for any gentleman.

The watch has just been fully serviced. It has been fully authenticated and found to be a genuine IWC in all respects. This watch has been fully and professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous
