Manufactured in the 1970s, this International Watch Co. (IWC) masterpiece “Yacht Club” Ref. 811AD features a stainless steel case and a white Roman numeral dial.
Among Yacht Club models, which more commonly feature simple designs with bar indexes and baton hands, this example stands out for its rare white Roman dial. The dial has a lacquered finish, giving it a distinctive glossy white sheen unique to lacquer dials, complemented by black printed Roman numerals and a striking set of three centrally mounted hands painted in black, creating a strong and unique presence.
It is equipped with the Cal. 8541B, one of the final automatic movements produced by vintage IWC, featuring a quickset date function and a hacking seconds mechanism. With its shock resistance and water resistance, it offers exceptional practicality among vintage watches. Additionally, it comes with its original bracelet (suitable for wrist sizes up to 17 cm), making it an especially attractive and versatile piece that can be worn year-round.
