Lot 71 : In the same style of pieces, a Portuguese IWC from 1942 was hammered-down for about 32,500 CHF. It is worth pointing out that the same type of piece has been sold at Christie's a little above its estimated price. Some historically interesting watches haven't triggered any special enthusiasm.
