    I looked up the numbers on the "Date Your IWC" App and I achieved the
    following information.

    The watch is a Cal 53 dating to 1913. The information says that it should be a
    Savonnette, but your watch is a Lepine, so maybe I misread the movement number
    - please clarify! I read 565231

    Or, your watch is missing it's front cover.

    As to the watch value, what you paid for it pretty much is it's value.

    Hi, nice watch!

    The 55231 number has been discussed here before, if I remember correctly it is
    something about a patent. Try the search function here on the forum and maybe
    you can find more info.

    Best regards,

    Henrik
