IWC International watch company in Yellow gold cal 852

IWC, International watch company, came out with a stunner of a watch in the midst of the 60's. The IWC Caliber 852 is one of the brand’s most important contributions to the world of horology, particularly in the development of automatic movements. Introduced in 1950's, the Caliber 852 was an innovative movement for its time, designed as a self-winding mechanism with a robust, efficient, and reliable architecture. It featured IWC's signature "pawl winding" system, which used a bi-directional winding rotor to efficiently wind the mainspring, a design that contributed to better performance and longevity compared to earlier movements. The movement was primarily used in IWC’s early automatic models, notably in the 1950s and 1960s, such as the famous IWC "Ingenieur"  watches. Its successful implementation marked a key milestone in IWC's long-standing reputation for precision and technical innovation, establishing a foundation for future developments in automatic watchmaking. We now have this yellow gold dress watch from IWC available that runs on a serviced cal 852
