International Watch Company are famous for creating incredibly elegant watches with superb movements, and here is a lovely vintage IWC watch that not only combines these two features, but was also retailed through the revered Swiss retailer, Turler.
Made in 1959, the watch case was made in 18 carat yellow gold and measures 35mm across plus the IWC crown.
Designed with a very elegant dial with index markers and sweep seconds, the dial is printed with the traditional IWC written as "International Watch Co" in the original font that is such a trademark of early IWC watches, as well as "Turler"
Powered by venerable 21 jewelled automatic IWC calibre 853 with a 44 hour power reserve, this same movement was used in their world renowned IWC Ingenieur watch and of course keeps perfect time and comes with our twelve month warranty.
Perfect for the boardroom or dinner table, this is a watch that is over 60 years old, yet exudes so much charm and sophistication.
