IWC de Luxe automatic 18k 1959

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

Under the hood beats an automatic caliber 8531 from 1959, 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.
