Hello,

I am reducing the number of watches that I own and thus selling a nice IWC cal.8541 from the late 60s/early 70s. I own a lot of these IWCs Pellaton caliber watches and can't keep every one of them 😁

I would like 950EUR net to me.
I accept PayPal (fees at the charge of the buyer ~+3%) for well established forum members only and bank wire for every potential buyer.

I am located in France so EU deals preferred. If located outside EU, the buyer is responsible for any additional taxes.
Shipping fees are free if shipped within EU. For outside EU, I'll have to check separately.
I accept returns if grossly misrepresented.

Reference : R804 A
Movement : 8541
Movement serial number : 1 869 291
Case serial number : 1 875 821
Approximative year : 1968

Case dimensions : 36.5mm of diameter (without the crown) - 43.5mm of lug span - 10.7mm of thickness - 18mm of lug width
Movement features : Quick-set date by going back and forth between 23:45 and 00:00 ; Hacking second

This is the last iteration of the pellaton calibers of that era. These are really nice movement - especially in that variant with hacking second and quick set date.

Remarks :
  • The watch is in good working condition. I haven't noticed any major time variation while on the wrist. However I don't know the service history. The movement looks clean.
  • The case has some scratches but nothing too unusual for a watch of this age. I tried to make them as visible as possible in the photos.
  • The dial is a beautiful sunburst silver dial.
  • The strap is a brand new aftermarket leather strap.
