NEW at my boutique ----> IWC 308 from 1942, 38mm, spectacular dial

Dear watch aficionado.

NEW available at my boutique is this IWC reference 308 which was sold on April 7th 1942 to Weinstabel in Prague comes with a very unusual large case of 38mm for that time period. It retains very strong proportions and the caseback still snaps very strong to the case. The IWC 308's are rarely seen especially in great condition as the present example. Not only that it comes with a superbly preserved case, but it has as well an extraordinary dial that turned from black to a beautiful chocolate color over its 76 years lifetime, which certainly adds that extra to this beautiful timepiece. And as stated by the curator of the museum: "It is a very interesting dial; I never saw it before."
This IWC 308 is certainly a great addition for every distinguished gentlemen collector, as it has all attributes a true vintage watch should have, perfect size of 38mm, case in superb condition and then that extraordinary dial.

I warmly invite you to visite the website of my boutique www.watchcollector.lu for more information and photos.

Kind regards.

NEW at my boutique ----> Patek Philippe 3429 white gold

Dear watch aficionado.

NEW available at my boutique www.watchcollector.lu is this superb Patek Philippe 3429G with its original etui.

The legendary Patek Philippe 3429 in white gold is a very rare timepiece to find. The present example is only the 16th in white gold to appear on the market and it comes in great condition with strong case proportions, strong hallmark at 4 o'clock on the case side, the original double P crown, 35mm. And then there is that lovely preserved dial, gravé main et émaillé, with the white gold indexes starting to take a nice oxidation. The dial is preserved in excellent condition. The more it features the automatic calibre 27-460 which is an evolution of the legendary 12-600 movement which can be found for example in the Patek reference 2526. As this example is made in 1962, this is the earliest known to the market at the moment (production ran from 1962 - 1969).

As well it comes with an original Patek Philippe etui and outer packaging. Overall, this is a very rare to find Patek 3429 reference preserved in excellent condition which should be a great addition for every distinguished gentlemen collector who is looking for a sublime vintage dress watch.

I warmly invite you to take a look at the website of my boutique www.watchcollector.lu for the current offer of vintage timepieces.

Kind regards.
