This version features a polished 18-carat white gold case with a diameter of 44.4 millimeters, a Dune dial, and gold-plated hands and gold appliques. The watch appears particularly elegant and refined thanks to an improved case construction with a thinner casing ring and double box-glass sapphire crystals. A particular highlight is the intricately crafted dial, which is manufactured in a complex process comprising 60 individual steps. The unusual optical depth is created by applying 15 layers of transparent lacquer, which is fine-ground and then polished to a high gloss finish. The perpetual calendar automatically recognizes the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. All its displays are perfectly synchronized with each other and can be advanced easily via a single crown. The IWC-typical Double MoonTM display shows the moon as it can be seen from the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Thanks to a special reduction gear, the indication will only deviate from the moon’s actual orbit by one day after 577.5 years. The Portugieser Perpetual Calendar is powered by the IWC-manufactured 52616 caliber movement, which is assembled from 386 individual parts. The automatic Pellaton winding system features components made of virtually wear-free zirconium oxide ceramic, while the oscillating mass is made of solid gold. Converting the movements on the wearer’s arm efficiently into energy for the mainspring, it reliably builds up a power reserve of 7 days in two barrels. The watch is fitted with a black alligator leather strap from Santoni with an 18-carat white gold folding clasp.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION
In the late 1930s, two Portuguese businessmen ordered wristwatches with the precision of marine chronometers from the International Watch Co. The first “large wristwatch” with a pocket watch calibre was very much ahead of its time. In 1993, this model celebrated its comeback, and was now known as the Portugieser. The Portugieser line established the trend towards the larger wristwatches so popular in the watch industry today, and due to its complex watchmaking technology is an icon in the world of haute horlogerie. Watch connoisseurs appreciate the imposing size of these timepieces as well as the clearly organized dial with its characteristic railway-track-style chapter ring and Arabic numerals. The Portugieser line has always been defined by IWC-manufactured movements and sophisticated complications. The minute repeater, rattrapante or split-seconds hand and in-house movements with a 7- or 8-day power reserve certainly impressed upon their respective debuts. The most exclusive and complicated mechanical watch ever made by IWC is the Portugieser Sidérale Scafusia. This model marks the most outstanding moment so far in the history of the Portugieser family.
