Can’t really tell you why, but this one grabs my attention. Nothing about it stands out on paper. No crazy dial, no limited edition, no headline complication. But IWC have just nailed this one. Every time I pick it up I like it more than the last.
Solid 18k rose gold, 40.9mm, calibre 79350 chronograph. Silver dial, applied rose gold Arabics, leaf hands, twin registers at 12 and 6. Classic Portuguese - they got it right in the 90s and haven’t really needed to touch it since.
Comes with the original IWC leather and a rubber strap. Excellent condition, full set.
IWC retail was around $25k
