My Thoughts
Now this is seriously cool.
Solid 18K yellow gold case, factory onyx stone dial, diamond markers and a case shape that gives you noticeably more wrist presence than something like a Cartier Tank. Throw in the UAE dial and engraved caseback and it becomes a very, very interesting piece!
The onyx is the killer for me though. Deep black stone against yellow gold, diamonds, beautiful design.
A little transparency on the UAE side: I have no paperwork or provenance to definitively prove the printing and engraving are factory/original UAE commission work. They may well be, but these are simply too rare for me to make that claim with confidence, so I’m selling and pricing it without attributing any premium to that logo.
Regardless, at under $9k you’re still getting an 18K vintage IWC, factory stone dial, diamond markers and a fresh full service. Just an incredible, Rare and beautiful piece
