Quick TakeThe grey dial on this 44 mm 18 ct 5N gold cased Portugieser is just stunning. The dial has gold hands and markers as well, which just help the dial pop that much more. The dial also showcases the flying tourbillon, power reserve and retrograde date. The beautiful movement can be seen through the display case back as well.

DescriptionThe IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde Ref. IW504602 is a testament to the brand’s commitment to combining timeless elegance with mechanical innovation. The watch's case, crafted from 18 ct 5N gold, measures 44.2 mm in diameter, offering a presence that is both majestic and refined. The height of 14.9 mm provides ample space for the sophisticated internal workings, encapsulating the complexity of the 51900 Calibre movement. This automatic, self-winding movement, comprised of 368 components and 44 jewels, operates at a frequency of 19,800 VPH (3 Hz), ensuring precise timekeeping across its 168-hour (7-day) power reserve. The arched-edge, antireflective sapphire glass enhances the watch’s readability and aesthetic appeal, while the water resistance of up to 3.0 bar adds practical durability to its luxurious design.

At the core of this exceptional timepiece is the “flying” tourbillon, a fascinating feature that captivates watch enthusiasts with its 82-part arrangement against a deep black background. This tourbillon is not just a marvel of engineering for its precision; it is also a visual delight, demonstrating IWC's mastery in watchmaking. The retrograde date display adds a unique and sophisticated element to the watch, elegantly moving across the dial before jumping back at the end of the month. This function, along with the Pellaton automatic winding system and the power reserve display, underlines the watch’s functionality and complexity. Complemented by the dark brown alligator leather strap by Santoni, this watch is a blend of comfort and luxury. The IWC Portugieser Tourbillon Mystère Rétrograde Ref. IW504602 is more than just a watch; it’s an embodiment of exquisite craftsmanship and the enduring allure of horological art.
