We are thrilled to present a truly unique offering: a New Old Stock IWC Aquatimer 812AD from 1968. This exceptional timepiece is distinguished by its innovative "two crown" waterproof case design, crafted by the renowned Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA). This distinctive feature was embraced by several prestigious brands, including IWC, during this iconic era of watchmaking.

What sets this particular Aquatimer apart is its pristine condition. The case remains immaculate, showing no signs of wear, preserving the watch's original elegance and functionality. The dial is in superb condition, with the original tritium lume retaining its brilliance, free from any fading or age-related deterioration. Adding to the rarity and desirability of this piece, it includes its original IWC-Gay Freres bracelet, also in outstanding condition and dated to 1969. The bracelet's unique double branding highlights the collaboration between IWC and Gay Freres, two names synonymous with excellence in watchmaking. The IWC Aquatimer 812AD is one of the most coveted models in IWC's illustrious history, with only 2,000 units produced, including the 1812 variant. Discovering a New Old Stock example is extraordinarily rare, making this watch an unparalleled treasure for collectors. This timepiece not only marks a significant chapter in IWC's legacy but also offers a rare chance to own a well-preserved masterpiece from the golden age of watchmaking.
