FS: IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition “HODINKEE” 1 of 500 IW324801 - Complete!

[sgrossma]

For sale is an IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Limited Edition for “HODINKEE” (Ref IW324801).

This reference took nearly 2 years to bring to market and was modeled after the famed ref 3705 and Mark 11.

The watch features a 39mm case made entirely of Ceratanium®, a proprietary material IWC Schaffhausen has developed over the course of five years. Powered by the automatic IWC caliber 35100.

Ceratanium is light like titanium but with the scratch resistance and durability of ceramic! It is enormously expensive to produce something like this.

This is 1 of only 500 pieces produced and was gone very quickly. Individually numbered.

This is a 100% complete set which includes the inner/outer boxes, warranty card, warranty booklet, manuals, hang tag, stickers, polishing cloth, and Hodinkee thank you note.

Excellent overall condition as seen in the photos. Still covered under the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty.

Asking $8,750 shipped / insured via wire. Will consider trade offers, but not looking for anything specific so please don't be offended if I reject. Prefer sports Rolex, Omega, and some IWC.

Thanks for looking!
