Vintage IWC Swiss Watch, Original Patina Dial, Automatic Cal. 852 Pellaton from 1950's

A classic mid-century IWC automatic powered by the legendary Caliber 852 - one of the movements that firmly established IWC’s reputation for technical excellence in the 1950s.

The original dial has developed a warm, honest patina over time, giving the watch depth and character that only decades can create. Inside beats the IWC Caliber 852, a Pellaton automatic movement - an important innovation in IWC history. The Pellaton winding system is known for its durability and engineering sophistication, using a pawl-based mechanism that efficiently winds in both directions. It remains one of the brand’s most respected automatic calibers.

A beautifully preserved vintage IWC with original dial, honest patina, and one of the most celebrated automatic movements of its era — a timeless and highly collectible piece of Schaffhausen craftsmanship.
