IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 black dial leather strap 42 mm

An icon of the Portugieser collection

The Portugieser collection has long been one of the finest expressions of IWC Schaffhausen's watchmaking expertise. Inspired by marine chronometers, it is recognised for its generous dial, applied Arabic numerals and signature railway-track minute scale. The Portugieser Automatic 42 IW501707 continues this legacy in a luxurious interpretation featuring a 750/1000 red gold case and a state-of-the-art manufacture movement.

A refined black dial

The deep black dial creates a striking contrast with the gold-tone appliques and feuille hands. The power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock and the small seconds display at 9 o'clock form the iconic balanced layout of the Portugieser Automatic, while the applied Arabic numerals and railway-track minute scale ensure outstanding legibility.

The IWC manufacture calibre 52011

Powering the watch is the IWC-manufactured calibre 52011, equipped with the renowned Pellaton winding system featuring highly wear-resistant ceramic components. Its twin-barrel construction delivers an exceptional seven-day power reserve. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement showcases refined finishing and sophisticated engineering.

The prestige of 750/1000 red gold

The elegant 42.4 mm case is crafted from 750/1000 red gold, whose warm tones beautifully complement the black dial. A domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal enhances the depth of the display, while the handcrafted black Santoni alligator leather strap completes this sophisticated timepiece with timeless elegance.

Designed to last for generations

With its seven-day manufacture movement, luxurious materials and timeless design, the Portugieser Automatic 42 IW501707 perfectly embodies IWC Schaffhausen's philosophy of combining technical excellence with enduring elegance.
