1977 IWC 'Golf-Club' Automatic - With Original box - Ref. 1830
A very elegant and rare automatic wristwatch
WHY IS THIS WATCH SPECIAL
Gerald Genta, the grandmaster of watchdesign did not only sketch the Patek Philippe 'Nautilus', the Audemars Piguet 'Royal oak', or the IWC 'Ingenieur', he also designed the three references of the IWC „club series“ in the mid 1970s. Only a very few examples, especially with black dials have survived and rarely appear on the open market today. We are very happy to be able to offer you this very well preserved example.

All parts about the watch are of course original and it´s iwc automatic caliber 8541B has been checked through and runs strong and exact as it should. It comes on a new black Patek Philippe aligator strap with it's iwc original buckle and it´s original iwc box.
