Description
Here we have for sale a beautiful and very rare collector item
IWC Schaffhausen vintage watch ref. 410 with a 36.5 mm 18K/750 yellow gold case that houses one of the super rare cal. 60 INCA movements with central second.
The watch is from 1948 and is in very good condition for its age (as you can see from the pictures). Several features make this watch a true collector item. First of all, the 36.5mm (w/o the crown) case is huge (!), given that most watch cases back then measured between 31 and about 34mm. And yellow gold was very scarce after the war so such a big case made from that material was exceptional. Secondly, the cal. 60 INCA is a true rare piece. Only very few of this caliber were produced. And only very few of this batch were equipped with an Incabloc shock absorber which was a technical novelty back then. The beautiful dial with its yellow golden indices and feuille-de-sauge hands are an eye catcher and the original (!) 15mm buckle from back then is another nice detail. The crown is original.
The watch was serviced by a professinal German watchmaker in 2023 and IWC issued a Certificate of Authenticity in June 2024 (see foto). The dial was most probably professionally restored. We deliver a new, black IWC service box with the watch.
For this masterpiece, we offer 12 months of implied warranty according to Swiss law.
