Available for purchase is a beautiful pre-owned vintage IWC Yacht Club Automatic watch, featuring its original Gay Freres bracelet. Very close to its original condition, this watch shows some minor wear on the case and band but remains in fantastic shape, especially considering its age. The watch is currently running but would benefit from a service. No box or papers included.

Introduced in 1967, the Yacht Club was IWC’s stylish and sporty counterpart to their famous Ingenieur line. While the Ingenieur was known for its robust, practical design, the Yacht Club offered a sleeker, more elegant alternative without compromising durability. Its thinner, lighter case—thanks to the absence of a second inner back—makes it comfortable on the wrist while retaining a perfect balance of sportiness and sophistication.

This particular model is a rare find in its original vintage condition, featuring the sought-after blue-gray dial with a date complication. The dial showcases applied silver baton hour markers, the IWC logo, and the original handset, along with a smooth sweeping second hand. The watch is completed with the original IWC crown, marked with the classic fish logo, adding to its authenticity.

Please note, the service history of this watch is unknown. As with any vintage timepiece, we recommend having it professionally serviced to ensure longevity and maintain its accuracy.
