Here we have an incredible 1980s IWC Ingenieur SL Quartz Steel & 18ct Yellow Gold on an integrated Bracelet. The 34mm tonneau stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold case is a Gerald Genta design that flies under the radar of many collectors. Genta designed the 40mm IWC Ingenieur four years after he created the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 1972, and it was in 1976, that he convinced Patek Philippe to launch the Nautilus. The SL stood for Steel Line, and this Quartz variant was in production from 1981 until 1987. The brushed surfaces and a slim profile lead to a lug-to-lug length of 39mm and a thickness of 8mm, which gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. The case gently curves comfortably over your wrist thanks to the integrated bracelet, and on the right side a signed screw-down crown. The fixed 18ct yellow gold bezel has five rivet holes and is brushed with polished edges. A flat sapphire crystal protects a crisp white dial, and an outer minute track with Roman numeral indices marks the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed colour-matched date window. Elegant black hands are complemented by a tapered 18ct yellow gold second hand. The text is precisely printed in black with a 12 “IWC” motif in its original swirling script and 6 “Ingenieur SL Quartz,” respectively. On the reverse, a screw-down case back. Inside a quality Quartz movement. The watch comes paired with its original 23mm integrated IWC steel and raised 18ct Yellow Gold centre link bracelet secured by a signed concealed clasp and will fit up to a 7.1-inch wrist. This watch is sold with an IWC Service box and paperwork for two IWC Services, the most recent being from June 2024.
