Here is a fabulous, all original IWC dress watch from 1964 in a large size for the era. The silver sunburst dial is in very fine condition, with the script IWC logo and faceted steel hour markers with black contrast, twin markers at 12 o’clock. In between the hour markers are the characteristic steel spheres for the minutes. There are a few small marks around the dial and slight wear along the edge of the dial at around 11-12 o’clock. The faceted dauphine hands with black contrast are in very fine condition. At 3 o’clock, the steel framed window displays the date, which can be quick-set by repeatedly moving the hands from 23:45 through midnight.

The stainless steel bezel is in very fine condition with a few marks of wear, such as at around 4, 8 and 11 o’clock. The stainless steel case with the original fish crown and long, elegant lugs is in very fine condition, with only light overall wear. The stainless steel case back has a brushed center and polished sloped rim and is in very fine condition, with just a few small marks. The case has been refinished.

The watch comes on an after market strap with the original IWC buckle in fine condition.

Inside the watch, IWC’s superb 8541 movement with the Pellaton winding system beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in August 2025 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

Vintage IWC’s are fantastic watches to wear, and this one looks great on the wrist with its large size and vintage impression. This is a watch that will serve you well for many years to come, and it can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.

Our watches are delivered in a luxury wooden watch box, fully serviced with a 12 month warranty that covers the mechanical functioning of the watch under normal use. We offer 14 days full return rights and are very proud of our reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.
