Iwc Automatic Date 18k De Luxe 1957

This rare IWC De Luxe with hooded lugs is one of those watches that impress at first glance.

Under the hood beats an automatic caliber 8521 from 1957, and the dial exudes a certain elegance, no doubt due to the incredibly well-crafted Dauphine hands and dagger indexes. The case, also made of solid 18k gold, features a slightly stepped bezel that adds even more character to this beauty.
