IWC Yacht Club Ref.R811AD NO DATE

COMMENT

The Yacht Club is one of IWC's iconic sports models. Designed by Gérald Genta, its C-line case is characterised by a crystal that protrudes from the middle case. The dial features a silver sunburst finish, with bar indices and pencil hands, creating a sophisticated look. The hands are coated with black paint on the top for enhanced legibility. The outer edge has pearl drop minute markers, adding a touch of elegance to the face design.

The Yacht Club is designed with a cushion inside the case to protect the movement from shocks. It is equipped with IWC's proprietary "Pellaton" automatic winding system, known for its simplicity and durability due to its thick components.

The case has excellent proportions with sharp C-line edges, showing no signs of dents or significant scratches, and retains a clean appearance. The dial has minimal signs of aging, maintaining its beautiful condition. The hands, indices, and applied IWC logo have a mirror finish on the top, reflecting light brilliantly. It has been fully serviced by our company, with a confirmed power reserve of 45 hours.

The thick case, typical of sports models, combined with a dress-style dial, embodies the distinctive IWC combination. This watch is ideal for those looking for a slightly larger vintage piece.

IWC's Cal.85 series automatic movements feature the unique Pellaton system. When winding, it produces a sound reminiscent of rolling beads, which is noticeably louder compared to products from other manufacturers.
