IWC Portugieser Automatic – 18kt Rose Gold – Ref. IW500113

The Legendary Portugieser in Horological Perfection

The IWC Portugieser Automatic Ref. IW500113 stands as one of the most recognizable and admired timepieces in haute horlogerie. Combining refined Portuguese-inspired design with one of IWC’s most impressive automatic movements, this watch captures the essence of precision, elegance, and timeless style.

Crafted from 18kt rose gold, the 42.3mm case offers commanding wrist presence without losing its understated sophistication. Its polished surfaces and slim bezel frame the dial beautifully, allowing maximum visual impact while maintaining the Portugieser’s signature thin profile.

The silver-plated dial is a study in symmetry and clarity, large Arabic numerals and feuille hands in rose gold contrast elegantly against the crisp background. The 7-day power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock mirrors the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, creating a perfectly balanced aesthetic. A discreet date window sits at 6 o’clock, seamlessly integrated into the dial’s design.  

At the heart of the IW500113 is the IWC-manufactured Caliber 51011, one of the largest automatic movements in modern watchmaking. Featuring the Pellaton winding system, this caliber offers a remarkable 7-day (168-hour) power reserve when fully wound, displayed in real-time on the dial. With 44 jewels, a frequency of 21,600 vph, and robust construction, it delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability.
