The story of this IWC 9111
Born in Schaffhausen in the early 1970s, this vintage yellow-gold IWC stands firmly in the brand’s fine-watchmaking tradition. Reference 9111, here the certificate-confirmed 1220 variant, embraces an ultra-slim profile and a clean dial design prized among pre-owned IWC watches for timeless elegance and Swiss quality.
Case, calibre and bracelet
Hand-wound calibre 171 with 17 jewels beating at 18,000 vph, nickel-plated with perlage and Geneva stripes, pull-to-set. The 32 mm 18-carat yellow-gold case remains slim and comfortable under a mineral crystal. The sun-brushed dial features baton markers with four subtle Roman numerals. The integrated yellow-gold IWC bracelet closes with a signed clasp and suits an approximately 17.5 cm wrist for a refined presence.
