IWC has produced a very wide variety of wristwatches from an early time ranging from dress watches to aviation watches. This example, in 18k rose gold with it's white/silver dial with twelve six layout and dagger hour markers would remain a constant in anyone's collections, especially as it comes with beautiful slight down turned lugs.
