A highly collectible iteration of the iconic Ingenieur line, this IWC Ingenieur SL “Skinny” reference 9225 from the 1980s is executed in solid 18K yellow gold and distinguished by its rare red Khanjar emblem at 9 o’clock, adorning a champagne dial. This emblem signifies a prestigious commission for the Sultanate of Oman, making this example historically important and sought after by discerning collectors.
Powered by an automatic movement, the 9225 embodies the refined ultra-thin evolution of the original Ingenieur SL designed by Gérald Genta, preserving the essential design codes while offering enhanced comfort and wearability. The present example has been previously restored, yet remains in very good overall condition, with surfaces, dial, and bracelet well preserved.
The case displays both a visible hallmark and clearly legible serial number, affirming its authenticity and provenance. The integrated bracelet in 18K yellow gold retains its characteristic elegance, underscoring the refined nature of this rarer configuration within the Ingenieur family.
With its combination of Genta’s design pedigree, precious metal execution, and the highly desirable Omani “red Khanjar” dial, this piece stands out as both historically and aesthetically significant — a confluence of luxury, design, and Middle Eastern provenance.
