IWC 14ct Gold Yacht Club R911A 36mm

This classic 1970s IWC Yacht Club reference R911A showcases timeless Swiss craftsmanship with its elegant 14K solid gold case and practical stainless steel caseback. The 36mm diameter offers perfect vintage proportions – substantial enough for presence yet refined for versatility. At its heart beats IWC’s legendary caliber 8541B automatic movement, renowned as one of the brand’s most reliable workhorse engines of the era.

The watch presents in honest, unpolished condition with its gold case showing a beautiful, even patina that only decades of careful wear can achieve. Despite its age, it’s running with excellent timekeeping performance. Currently paired with a handmade brown alligator strap from Artisan Straps, this Yacht Club blends vintage authenticity with contemporary wearable style.

Offered as head-only, this collector-quality IWC represents a rare opportunity to own a golden-era sports watch from one of Switzerland’s most respected manufactures. The combination of its 14K gold construction, historically significant 8541B movement, and classic 1970s design makes this Yacht Club a standout piece for enthusiasts of vintage luxury watches.
