1961 IWC and Rolex Watches Fit for a 50th Birthday Now on Vintage Seekers

July 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Equally, the stainless steel Rolex Oyster perpetual with rare red date on strap is another iconic vintage watch that turns 50 this year.

Choosing an item created in someone’s birth year makes an unforgettable, thoughtful present, and a beautifully crafted vintage watch is particularly apt, since it symbolises the preciousness and passage of time.

IWC launched the Ingenieur range in 1946 and is today much sought-after by vintage watch collectors thanks to its timeless design and rarity. Crafted in18ct yellow gold with a crocodile leather strap, the 1960s IWC 'Ingenieur' still has its original IWC box and sales warranty, detailing that the retailer ‘Ollivant & Botsford’ had endorsed the timepiece on 24th October 1961.

Other ideal 50th birthday gifts listed on Vintage Seekers, the premium 20th century design and collectibles site, include rare classic cars, such as a 1961 Jaguar MK II saloon and a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series 2 in silver.
