Quick TakeThis very handsome 18 ct 5N Gold cased 42 mm Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 Boutique Edition has a stunnng deep bel dial. The blue dial matches the blue leather strap nicely and both contrast well with the gold case. Instead of four subdials on traditional IWC perpetual calendars, this watch manages to use just three subdials.
DescriptionThe IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 Boutique Edition Ref. IW344205 stands as a beacon of high-end watchmaking. Encased in exquisite 18 ct 5N gold, the watch boasts a diameter of 42.4 mm, striking a perfect balance between bold presence and classic elegance. The 13.8 mm case height is thoughtfully designed to not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also to house the complex and sophisticated mechanics within. The see-through sapphire glass back provides a window into the soul of the watch, revealing the beautifully crafted 82650 Calibre movement. This design choice not only adds to the watch's visual appeal but also underscores its practicality with a water resistance of up to 3.0 bar, making it a durable piece for everyday elegance.

At the heart of this boutique edition lies the 82650 Calibre, an IWC-manufactured movement that epitomizes the brand's commitment to precision and craftsmanship. This self-winding mechanism, composed of 303 components and 46 jewels, operates at a frequency of 28,800 VPH (4 Hz), ensuring the watch keeps time with impeccable accuracy. The 60-hour power reserve is a testament to its reliability and endurance. The perpetual calendar, a marvel of haute horlogerie, is mechanically programmed to accurately display the date, day, month, and leap year for 577 years, requiring minimal adjustments over time. This feature is complemented by the perpetual moon phase display, adding an element of celestial elegance to the timepiece. The blue alligator leather strap by Santoni, measuring 22.0 mm in width, not only enhances the luxurious look of the gold case but also ensures a comfortable fit.
