An extremely rare gold Schaffhausen hunting case pocket watch with original box
Case: 14k rose gold. Dial: enamel. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, screw compensation balance.
This IWC calibre "Unitas" is one of the rarest movements IWC ever produced, only a few 100 of them were made - this particular one on order for Isidor Heilbronner’s watch company Unitas in Munich. The distinguishing ¾ plate of the Swiss design illustrates once more the strong influence and the success of the watch and clock factories in Glashütte. Certainly a must-have for any IWC collection!
