iwc 666ad first model ingenieur circa 1956 vintage £4500 at Brittons Watches

REF NO: 2701

NEW COST*: GBP£N/A

OUR PRICE: GBP£4500

A very rare watch we have here and a real tour de force of technical excellence in a minimalist look,. This is a rare first model IWC International Watch Company Ingenieur IWC 666AD with the IWC caliber 8521 with the pellaton winding system. These were available between 1955 and 1958 so only had a short production run and didn't sell in great numbers as they were quite expensive at the time. The watch movement is completely housed in a faraday cage (a soft iron "jacket") with a soft iron dial and was designed to withstand magnetic fields up to 80.000 A/m. This example will date from around 1956, these came out about the same time as the rolex milgauss which had a similar specification , ours still has its original plexi glass crystal with the inner magnifying cyclops lens over the date which is nice to see, this has a lovely case which is still crisp and sharp.A real purist watch

Gents Fabulous very crisp and original Rolex Oyster Speedking dating from 1949 model no.5056, this is a watch we sold around 15 years ago and were glad to take it back in part exchange for another watch we had and we originally bought it from the original owner who bought it from Hancocks in Manchester in 1951 and when we sold it 15 years ago we sold it with the original hand written receipt from hancocks the cost then was 20 odd pounds unfortunately in the 15 years the past keeper has had it this receipt has gone adrift which was a shame. This unlike most Rolex of this age hasn't been "done up" polished up or messed with , it's a real find really even has the very desirable dome top Oyster patent winding crown which are very desirable, original everything this apart from a new strap  , please note these are quite a small watch up to most nowadays but until the mid 1950s gents watches were quite small
Diameter of watch head: 30/31 mm
