IWC Portugieser Automatic 7 Days – IW500101 – 18K Rose Gold – Full Set

Offered for sale is this elegant IWC Portugieser Automatic 7 Days, reference IW500101. The watch combines the classical proportions of the Portugieser collection with an impressive seven-day power reserve and IWC’s renowned in-house automatic movement.

The 42.3 mm case is crafted from 18-carat rose gold and is paired with a refined white/silver-toned dial. Its beautifully balanced layout features applied Arabic numerals, elegant feuille-style hands, a power-reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock and a date display at 6 o’clock.

Inside the watch is IWC’s manufacture calibre 51011. This automatic movement uses the brand’s well-known Pellaton winding system and offers an impressive power reserve of approximately 168 hours when fully wound. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and consists of 326 components with 42 jewels. The decorated movement, including its rotor with an 18-carat gold medallion, can be admired through the sapphire-crystal display case back.

The watch is fitted with a classic crocodile leather strap, which complements the warm tone of the rose-gold case beautifully.

This example is in exceptionally good overall condition, showing only minimal signs of careful wear. Please examine the photographs closely, as they form an important part of the condition description.

The watch is offered as a full set, including its original presentation box, certificate and accompanying documentation. The certificate is an open card and has never been completed or dated.
