For over 60 years, many of IWCs automatic in-house movements have derived from the pawl-winding system developed by Albert Pellaton. This vintage IWC Aquatimer reference 812AD from 1969 in 37mm features the Pellaton cal. 8531 and is amply nicknamed ‘’Albino’’ due to its beige and white color scheme. This exact version is one of four different colorways made and is by far the rarest of them and rarely ever seen for sale. Distinctive for its super compressor case design and dual crown system to rotate the inner diver’s bezel. The watch has just undergone a complete restoration at IWC, where an Extract from the Archives was issued as well.
