There are only a few known examples of this rare IWC timepiece, which can be found in both silver and gold. All of them were delivered to Eugen Kovacs in Vienna. One of the matching watches, housed in a silver case and bearing the Kovacs Vienna signature, was on display at the IWC Museum in Schaffhausen from 2007 to 2010.
