IWC Sub Second 18k Rose 1947

This stunning IWC dress watch features a classic sub seconds design, rose gold alpha hands and arabic numerals, a clean silver colored dial 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 with the 18k rose gold case in 35 mm diameter.

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.
