Matthew's Notes
This is a very unusual form of a 1970's automatic IWC Date in stainless steel. The watch is in excellent condition with an original grey dial and on the original IWC stainless bracelet. Aside from the unusual case design, the back of the case has a very interesting inscription. " Deep Purple from EMI Electrola 250.000 Made in Japan". Deep Purple was an English rock band, formed in the late 1960's and was signed to EMI records. In 1972 they had a live double album called 'Made in Japan" which became a huge commercial success. One could come to the conclusion from this inscription that this watch was a gift from EMI to Deep Purple for the success of the album Made in Japan.
