I am selling this 1981 IWC 'UAE' (ref. 2080) This truly unique timepiece oozes luxury. The Case is constructed of 18 karat Yellow Gold with a beautiful hobnail finish around the bezel. The striking onyx black dial is accompanied by diamond markers and gilt text. You will notice an emblem at 6 O'clock, the Quraysh Hawk. This emblem signifies that the watch was specially ordered by the UAE Government who gifted these to high ranking officials, foreign dignitaries and diplomats. It is also featured on the caseback with a rather larger engraving. ​ Unlike the vintage cartier tanks, this piece is generously sized at 30mm wide. It is powered by a Manual winding IWC cal. 185.2, displaying time only which allows you marvel at the stunning finishes of the dial and case. **Quick Specs:** • Brand: IWC • Reference: 2080 • Movement Number: 2,355,XXX • Case Number: 2,278,XXX • Year: 1981 • Material: 18k Yellow Gold • Dimensions: 30 x 35mm (without crown) • Crystal: Sapphire • Movement: Swiss, Manual, IWC cal. 185.2, 18 jewels • Crown: 18k Gold • Strap: Leather strap with 18k Yellow Gold IWC signed buckle • Lug width: 20mm • Box & Papers: No, Watch Only **Condition/Things to Note:** • Watch is over 43 years old.
