IWC Portuguese Chronograph Automatic 40.9mm

18kt Rose Gold, Rare Slate “Ardoise” Dial / Black Sub Dials & Rose Gold Arabic Numbers With Black Strap

The tradition behind the Portuguese family of watchesstretches all the way back to the precision nautical instruments used by seafarers to discover the world. A traditional line like this needs a chronograph with a scale calibrated to an accuracy of a quarter of a second. The elegant design and moderate height of the case have made the Portuguese Chronograph one of the most sought-after Portuguese models of them all. Everything is integrated harmoniously on the clearly organized dial: the recessed totalizers, the embossed Arabic numerals and the perfectly
proportioned feuille hands for hours and minutes. The chronographs in cases with the warm appeal of 18-carat red gold exude a distinctive luxury. The slate-coloured dial with its shimmering sun-pattern finish is in discreet contrast to the deep black counters, whilst the blued hands for times recorded by the stopwatch provide a colourful highlight to the silver-plated dial.
