IWC International Watch Co. Ref. R 4406 — Automatic | 26 mm | Circa 1970

For the woman who knows what she wants.

This beautiful vintage IWC International Watch Co., reference R 4406, dates from around 1970 — a delicate 26 mm timepiece with the quiet elegance of another era.

Its deep blue dial, softly touched by time, has developed a beautiful natural patina. The ageing is visible in the photographs and is part of what makes this watch so special: it has not lost its character with the years — it has gained it.

Small, feminine and beautifully proportioned, it sits effortlessly on the wrist. Nothing excessive, nothing trying too hard. Just the discreet presence of a genuine Swiss vintage watch.

Inside is an IWC automatic movement, associated with the renowned Pellaton winding system, one of the defining mechanical innovations developed at IWC Schaffhausen.

More than fifty years later, this little IWC remains a charming survivor of its time — elegant, mechanical and completely individual.

The watch has been checked and serviced and is running with excellent precision. The crystal is clear and free of visible marks.

The case back is signed International Watch Co. Swiss, with reference R 4406 and serial number 2173356.
