IWC 18K Tear Drop 1956
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 tear drop lugs would remain a constant in anyone’s collections, especially as it has never been worn and comes in near NOS condition.
