IWC Yacht Club Jumbo Size R811AD Cal.8541B 36.0mm 1969

Up for grabs here is an absolutely stunning example of the rare IWC Yacht Club series of watches. Freshly serviced and in immaculate condition, truly a collectible piece bound to catch anybody’s attention.

Starting with the dial, the dial comes flawless in a white that plays beautifully in the light with its sunburst effect. The dial comes with a beautiful set of index shaped mirror polished hands with black inserts and tritium luminescent plots that pair perfectly with the applied hour markers with similar black inserts and tritium plots across the dial. Not to mention the stunning attention to detail with the raised steel circular minute markers across the dial.

The case comes in a well sized C shape, with lugs that blend well into the carefully brushed steel case that contrasts the shiny mirror polished bezel perfectly. Coming in at a Jumbo sized 36.0mm, the watch sits perfectly on the wrist with a nice presence that’s not too large and chunky but not too unnoticeable either.

Turning over to the case-back one would see a simple yet elegant brush and polish mix. Opening up the inside one would be able to see the beautiful C.8541B Automatic movement. Freshly serviced early April 2025, the movement runs at an excellent ~0s/day. Which for a watch of this age is extremely accurate and nearly on par with modern watches of today. 

To top it all off the watch comes on a beautiful black crocodile leather strap with its original IWC signed stainless steel clasp with the circle shaped IWC logo.
