IWC Schaffhausen Matte Black Calatrava cal 852 circa 1950s

So you like the Patek Calatrava? I get it but a lot of those watches time only in the 1960s are very similar with exception to metals and name on the dial. We always recommend simply buying the best possible watch—based on aesthetics, condition, originality and of course price. This International Watch Company dress piece is a fine elevated casual as well as a beautiful dial that shines in any collection.

The stainless steel case houses a matte black dial dial—almost looks graphite— with applied markers and alpha hands. This is possibly refinished because it is too good and e cannot find another example. Although 35mm, this one wears huge especially with domed crystal. While no service history, the automatic quickset movement is keeping time on the wrist and healthy on the timegrapher—your experience may slightly vary.
