IWC PORTUGIESER.
THE LEGEND AMONG ICONS.
Portugieser Perpetual Calendar. Ref. 5034: Real icons have a special story to tell. And what was true of the
great Portuguese sea farers also applies to IWC’s own Portugieser. After all, the history of its genesis bears the stamp of courageous
innovation and watchmaking expertise at its best. Over seventy-fi ve years ago, two Portuguese businessmen approached IWC
requesting a wristwatch with the precision of a marine chronometer. In response, IWC’s watchmakers took the unprecedented
step of housing a hunter pocket watch movement in a wristwatch case. In so doing, they founded a watch family whose
timeless elegance, sophisticated technology and unmatched complexity have been a source of wonderment ever since. The
movement itself is visible through a transparent sapphire glass back cover that provides an unimpeded view of the IWC-
manufactured 52615 calibre’s impressive precision. The watch’s complexity is eloquently expressed by the perpetual calendar,
whose functions can all be adjusted simply by turning the crown. And just as observing the star-studded heavens can guide a
ship safely to harbour, a glance at the perpetual calendar and the moon phase display navigate the wearer safely through the
complexities of time. This, in a nutshell, is how more than 75 years of watchmaking history became an icon of haute horlogerie.
And how, thanks to its unique blend of perfection and timeless elegance, it has become a legend in its own time.
