DescriptionThe IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Ref. IW545801 stands as an epitome of classical watchmaking artistry infused with modern innovation. Encased in 18 ct Armor Gold® known for its enhanced hardness, the watch possesses a dignified presence with its 42.4 mm diameter, perfectly balancing robustness and elegance. The relatively slim profile of 10.8 mm height accentuates its refined aesthetics while housing the sophisticated internal mechanics. The see-through sapphire glass back is a window into the soul of the watch, allowing an unobstructed view of the intricate 81905 Calibre movement, a feature that showcases IWC's commitment to horological excellence. This watch is designed to endure, with a water resistance rating of 6.0 bar, making it both a luxurious and practical timepiece.

At the heart of this exceptional watch lies the 81905 Calibre, a manually wound movement that embodies IWC's dedication to precision and quality. Consisting of 159 components and 20 jewels, and operating at a frequency of 28,800 VPH (4 Hz), this movement ensures impeccable timekeeping. The 84-hour power reserve is indicative of the watch's endurance, offering a blend of convenience and reliability. The crowning feature of this timepiece is its hacking tourbillon mechanism, a marvel of watchmaking that not only counteracts the effects of gravity on the escapement but also allows for precise time setting, a rarity in tourbillon watches. The convex, antireflective sapphire glass ensures clarity and durability. Paired with the luxurious black alligator leather strap by Santoni, this watch is not only a testament to IWC's technical prowess but also a statement piece of unmatched elegance. The IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Ref. IW545801 is more than just a watch; it's an exquisite piece of craftsmanship for those who appreciate the finer aspects of horological art.
