Stylish early 1960´s IWC Automatic with a Pellaton automatic winding system straight from the top of the watchmaking industry.
This pre-owned timepiece has been fully serviced at our atelier (8/24), refinished with good taste and ready to use. The steel case combined with light blue/grey dial fits well all occasions and outfits. The watch is overall in very good condition, but you should know that there is a scratch on the dial between 2-3 o´clock position and some of the luminescent material on the dial is missing.
Strap is new Cordovan leather in dark green color (pictured with green and brown leather straps, both available), and the steel buckle is from the same era as the watch. Original green IWC box is included, and our written document is included with this timepiece. More information about watch condition and details below.
