IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN  SOLID 18 KARAT GOLD AND RECENTLY SERVICED 1953

STOCK NUMBER # IWC6600------As many serious wrist watch hounds know. That probably one of the top 10 watch houses is still to this day the famous International watch "Schaffhausen" model from Switzerland. This is a prime example and just serviced by our in house watchmaker and cleaned to perfection, as the last scan will show you a perfect motion balance wheel. The case is hallmarked for 18 karat solid gold on the inside of the back of this snap in case, and it is stamped on the inside of the rim where the back of the case fits in. The IWC factory even went as far as stamping an 18 karat stamp on the back of the lug at the 1 o'clock position. Needless to say I tested the case and without a doubt all spots are 18K. This case is without personal engravings and it is 44mm long and without the crown it is 36mm wide. The dial is nice and clean and the hands are original to   this piece. The case  serial number is 1,332,951. The movement is an International Watch caliber 89 and there are 17 cleaned ruby jewels and each and every part of this movement has been inspected for wear by our watchmaker  and it is a perfect time keeper indeed as one should expect from such a high end Schaffhausen wrist watch. The serial number for this movement is 1,328,821  which tells me this manual wind IWC Schaffhausen was produced at the Swiss factories in 1953 and still to this day ticks a strong beat! The band on this piece is 18mm in width never on a wrist not a bend.
