Here is a nice looking watch I know nothing about? It's marked on the dial, marked on the solid gold case #894113 and has a hallmark on the movement #871235. The 09 price guide is a bit confusing for this lookup. Thank you in advance and let me know if you need any other information about the watch.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Beautiful watch Carlos, and you'll be pleased to know that IWC watches are highly sought after by collectors these days!

Even beat up non running movements command quite high values now, just try finding an affordable spares donor for one!

You will also find 'IWC' watches advertised for sale as 'Peerless', 'SS&Co' or 'Stauffer'.

Stauffer (Stauffer Son & Co) were the London UK importers of IWC, and the movements (produced for Stauffer by IWC) and marketed by them are usually marked 'Peerless' under the balance, and S&Co (inside a shield) on a bridge.
Non of these bear the 'IWC Probus' mark though!

The links below will take you to the IWC website.
