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 852 from 1958, 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. What makes this particular model even more desirable is the "Türler" double sign, which is telling us it was sold by jeweler "Türler" in the first place.
