18k gold mechanical gentleman's watch with 18k gold bracelet. Consignor states: “I received the watch as a gift from a German friend in the 1970s after admiring it. In the mid-1980s, I took it to Tiffany's in Boston for cleaning and crystal replacement. They sent it to IWC in Switzerland who informed them that the 18k band was likely custom ordered since it was much heavier than the standard bracelets on their watches of that period.”
