Here is a stunning and rare, all original IWC dress watch from 1960. The silver dial with the script IWC logo is in very fine condition, with faceted golden wedge hour markers, double markers at 12 o’clock, and golden sphere marking the minutes. There is a small mark just below the IWC logo. The faceted golden dauphine hands are in fine condition, with some wear.

The gold plated bezel is in very fine condition with only light overall wear. The gold plated case with the original crown and long, elegantly sloped lugs is in very fine condition, with a polished face and brushed sides. It shows light overall wear, mostly at the lugs. The gold plated case back is in very fine condition with light overall wear. The case does not appear to ever have been polished.

The watch comes on an after market leather strap and buckle of good quality.

Inside the watch, IWC’s high grade 853 movement with the Pellaton winding system beats strongly and accurately to within about +-12 seconds per day. The watch was fully serviced in October 2026 and comes with a 12 month warranty on its proper mechanical functioning.

As dress watches go, this is a real find. The fabulous overall condition makes this a watch you will yearn to find an excuse to wear and admire on your wrist.

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.
