It seems there is confusion over Patek and IWC here

I think some brands are more dependent on the paper trail than others, honestly. Patek being near the top of "needing everything".
Perhaps you need not worry as much with an IWC Big Pilot -- more than many, this is a watch that stands on its own.
Nor is it complicated or likely to need service in the next decade.
I'd get a record from the dealer, maybe the first photo you took of it, and good luck on selling it.
I might also recommend a photo of each watch you own, with its papers, for reference in the future, as this frequently happens.
Sadly, because I have so many watches I have sold some missing either papers or boxes or straps then later found the missing culprits ... 🙁☹️😖
