Pocket watch: limited IWC pocket watch, rarity in the 18K solid gold version, 'Scarabaeus-Fuchs-Savonnette', Schaffhausen, around 1982 with original box
Absolute rarity and rare collector's item!
Diameter (measured without crown and eyelet) Approx. Ø56mm, just under 184g, 18K gold, reference 5420, front cover with scarabaeus, inside artist's signature, owner engraving and number 32/2500, symbolizing moon and stars on the back.
IWC precision lever movement caliber 98.2F with fine adjustment, engraved by hand and 18K gold-plated, chronometer quality.
Dial in the shape of a sun, snake hands designed by the artist are made of particularly durable material and handmade, elegant wooden box with veneers from the rootstock of a walnut tree, probably almost unused, functional.
According to the brochure, the lead time per watch was a full 18 months. The case design comes from Professor Ernst Fuchs and was completed by the world-famous bronze caster Venturi. The watch has been virtually untouched since the 80s and of course has not been polished. This watch was originally intended to be produced in an edition of 2,500 copies. In fact, it was probably only a fraction of that. All copies that have been put back on the market so far have lower numbers. Today it is assumed that only around 150 pieces were made in 18K gold!
Including certificate of authenticity from our house.
