Most beautiful IWC ever (vintage)

I found myself typing in Google the most beautiful vintage IWC. Couldn't really find a suitable answer. Any suggestions? I'm sticking to the 30's cal.83 (calatrava style) until I see something better.

To me, the rose gold Vintage Collection Portuguese comes close. All the dimensions are perfect, the dial lay-out is a piece of art to me, the handwound movement is high class and quite accurate.

Kind regards,

That really is a beauty, Paul!

Indeed! Nice looking watch!

Vintage collection. Perfection.

Hi FBC,

are you talking about this Watch?

(hope the pictures are visible)

this is one of my most favourite vintage IWC. I bought it almost 20 years ago an still love it.

It is a 1936 Caliber 83 Calatrava Style IWC, pretty small for todays trend but absolutely gorgeous from my point of view.

kind regards
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
Now that is a beautiful real vintage, thanks for sharing.
There are several contenders to the most beautiful vintage IWC, arguable a subjective issue, but this one has to be among them.

Hi Wolfgang,
I'm talking about that one! yes. An amazing piece.

Hi Clepsydra,
of course yore right, there is no doubt about the 866. To be honest i should have bought that model also 20 years ago, but did not take the right decision then. Nowadays the cost for the 866 is 5 times higher, would have been a good investment.
