1950s IWC De Luxe "Flying Lugs"

| | | mm

The "De Luxe" designation was reserved strictly for IWC's premium, solid-gold dress pieces, and this 1950s example is a structural masterpiece. The heavy gold case is defined by its dramatic, prominent "Flying Lugs" (or horned lugs) that gracefully extend away from the chassis, giving the watch an incredible architectural presence on the wrist. Housing a legendary, in-house manual caliber, it represents peak post-war Schaffhausen sophistication.
