    Found this one at an auction, waiting for me, and I thought that it would be a
    nice one to have in the PW collection.

    It is a central second, not many IWC pocketwatches have this.

    It is the ref 243 from 1965. The caliber is a handwound , found in wristwtches
    from that era, the cal 401, an evolution of the famous cal 89 handwound.

    The case is 18K yellow gold, the dial has the sunburst pattern.

    I came with a nice chain and button. Love it.

    I missed this one - what an amazing find! A very cool case on this one, too.
    And fairly small? Love it Tonny!

    Thank you!

    I did not know and missed it!
    Quite expensive I guess!

    I would like to see a modern one ;-)
