Iwc Arabic Numerals 1946

This stunning IWC dress watch features a classic sub seconds design, hands and hour markers in yellow gold and is fitted with the much celebrated caliber 88 movement.  IWC has long been synonymous with seeking beauty in simplicity, and this example exemplifies that ethos. 

The case style is very elegant with unique lugs and the three body case construction on this model is designed, so it appears to have a slim profile from the side, perfectly designed to peek out just enough under the jacket cuff.
