IWC 18k Automatic Jumbo 1955

IWC has produced a very wide variety of wristwatches from an early time ranging from dress watches to aviation watches. This example with a 18k yellow gold case is in stunning condition and has a wonderful designed silver sunburst dial with simple stick hour markers and hands would remain a constant in anyone's collections.
