    Hi!

    I’ve recently acquired this amazing piece in yellow gold with calibre 402. Wondering if anyone knows much about this 34mm piece and are willing to share, I too am wondering about the provenance of this piece.

    Please do chime in! I have attached photos below.

    The cal. 402 movements were made from the late 1960’s through the 1970’s.

    Have your watchmaker get the case number and serial number from the inside the watch and go here:

    You will get an idea of the production date.

    The IWC factory also has a forum where collectors may get information about their vintage watches:

    Let us know what you find out.

    It is a lovely looking watch. I would argue that it belongs in the "High-End Watches" section rather than "Other watch brands." :)
