IWC Yacht Club Ref.R811 NO DATE

COMMENT

The C-line case, designed by Gérald Genta, is distinguished by a crystal that rises directly from the mid-case, giving the watch a modern and sporty aesthetic. The silver sunburst dial is complemented by bar indexes and pencil hands, a classical combination enhanced by black inlays for improved legibility. Pearl-drop minute markers around the periphery add a touch of elegance, elevating the dial’s overall sophistication.

Inside, a shock-absorbing cushion structure protects the movement, while the Cal.8541 showcases IWC’s signature Pellaton winding system. Built with robust, thick components, it offers exceptional durability and reliability.

The case remains sharp and well-preserved, with unblemished brushing on the upper surface and a bezel that retains its polished brilliance. The dial is in excellent condition, the hands show minimal patina, and the black-filled indexes are intact and easy to read. The applied IWC logo at 12 o’clock still shines brightly, reinforcing the watch’s crisp and refined presentation. Fully serviced by our watchmaker.

The Yacht Club embodies IWC’s philosophy of combining sportiness with refined design. With its vintage charm and a case size of around 36mm, it offers a contemporary wearing experience. Balancing elegance with functionality, this model transitions seamlessly from business to casual settings and stands as one of the purest expressions of IWC’s design ethos in sports watches.
