Condition: Dress watches were made in so many variations. IWC competed nicely with other watch brands to create truly beautiful watches. This watch was manufactured in 1950. This time-only piece from IWC comes in a 35mm case made of staybrite steel. The case is in good condition, with only a few scratches on the caseback. The lugs are truly what makes this watch stand out, with their bombé lugs, what collectors often call ‘twisted’. The lugs are long and make this watch sit largely on the wrist. The white dial has aged to a cream tone, with applied hour markers that match the hours, minutes and seconds hand. The minutes hand is missing its lume. The IWC, cursive name is printed on the dial. The watch runs on the caliber 85, automatic movement. The movement is signed with "Pat. Appl.", indicating this is one of the earliest versions of the caliber 85 produced.

The watch does not come with box and papers.
