CASE & BRACELET
The crisp and unpolished 18K yellow gold case boasts a stunning patina with colors that range from deep reds, blue, to dark purple throughout the case sides and case back. The case retains strong factroy finishing and dimensions throughout with nominal evidence of previous use present. The unsigned crown is potentially a very early service replacement. The snap-on case back continued the colorful case patina and is in excellent condition. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap with an original gold plaque IWC tang buckle.
DIAL & HANDS
The original and classically designed silver dial is in virtually flawless condition, exhibiting no age or damage. The original solid yellow gold dauphine hands are also in perfect condition.
