Introduced in 1994 and only available for three short years, the IWC Romana reference 2050 is not only a very sophisticated looking watch with four well-proportioned recessed subsidiary dials and straight angled lugs, but it was also once the thinnest perpetual calendar wristwatch ever made. With a movement thickness of only 3.15 mm, the watch can sit on one’s wrist comfortably for an entire day without causing any discomfort to the wearer.
