Authentication of an IWC - costs and process?

[Paulburrell]

What's the process for authenticating an IWC? Can you do it through the original authorised seller or is it safer to go straight to IWC? If so, any idea of likely costs?

It's an IWC Dopplechronograph comes with oiriginal wooden box tools, spare strap etc etc, but no authentication papers. Was originally purchased at Watches of Switzerland in Cambridge(now closed) and the owner does not have the original purchase receipt. Any views on what it might be worth in round figures in good but definitely not unworn condition?

I should have mentioned that they'll only issue a copy from the ledgers for a watch over 10 years old .

This one was bought in 2002, so any ideas where that leave me standing with getting a copy certificate??
