Today's offering showcases this large, elegant and very high grade IWC mens watch.

Measuring 36mm in diameter without the crown, it's the same width as a Rolex Datejust. It's long thin lugs make it appear even a bit larger than that on the wrist.

Powering this watch is the company's impressive caliber 60 movement, renowned for its workmanship and technical merit. In addition to its hour and minute timekeeping, this manually wound engine also features center seconds.

Housing the fine movement is an elegant 18K gold case with long downturned lugs, marked with IWC's Probus Scafusia hallmark. Its classicly simple dial and timeless case give the watch a great high-grade gold dress watch look.

It is all-original down to the original counterweighted seconds hand and decorated winding crown. Its case is in excellent condition, and its original dial shows only light signs of aging.

One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
