# 1959 Platinum IWC Video: [https://imgur.com/a/T8fZ3m9](https://imgur.com/a/T8fZ3m9) This gorgeous vintage platinum case IWC dates to 1959 based on movement serial. It uses the caliber 853 movement, which is the same as the 8531 but without date complication. The dial on this is in incredible condition, nearly mint with almost no signs of patina at all. This piece also has the original vintage SS IWC buckle (buckles on these were not platinum). The case is an unusual style, with triangular tapered lugs and a flat instead of angled bezel. This case is also very sharp with fully intact brushed finishing. Case measures 35mm wide without crown, with a 42.3mm lug to lug length and 18mm lug width. Watch is shown on my \~6.75” wrist in the pictures for reference. Service history is not known but the movement runs, winds, and sets smoothly. **Imgur album:** [https://imgur.com/a/1959-iwc-853-platinum-N3YTzzZ](https://imgur.com/a/1959-iwc-853-platinum-N3YTzzZ) **Timestamp:** [https://imgur.com/a/SkYi1iO](https://imgur.com/a/SkYi1iO) I'm asking **$2,695 shipped** in the US via wire, Zelle, or Venmo. I will ship internationally and only charge the difference in cost on top. I am not looking for trades. Comment under the post before messaging, and let me know if you have any questions!

Great experience & transaction with mattmcmhn

Extremely flexible with my requests and questions. Adjusted the 2 day shipping to overnight with reasonable price adjustment. The watch I received "Tudor Black Bay" is absolutely as described and pictured with the box/papers. A 100% perfect transaction. Thanks again Matt! Adam

Smoothe transaction with Mattmcmhn!!

Just purchased a Pelagos from Mattmcmhn! Everything was better than stated. Matt immediately mailed the watch upon receipt of the funds. He answered all my questions and everything was better than I anticipated. I will purchase from Matt anytime!

mattmcmhn (Matt) is a soloid seller!

I just received a Rolex Explorer II from Matt, very smooth deal. The watch is better than advertised. I'd have no problem buying from him again. My only complaint, it was a tossup between my sawzall and the Jaws of Life to get the package opened, very securely packaged!!
