Catalogue Note:
Since its introduction in the early 20th century, the Portugieser has held a significant position within the IWC collection. It serves as a cornerstone, embodying the essence of the brand and maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

The IWC reference 5242, crafted in white gold, is a limited edition timepiece with only 250 pieces produced. It seamlessly combines the sporty elegance of the classic Portugieser case with the sophisticated complication of a minute repeater. The watch features a sunburst-finished "ardoise" dial, displaying a captivating deep blue-purple-grey hue. Despite its striking appearance, the design exercises restraint and subtlety, evident in the placement of the subsidiary seconds function on the left side of the dial.
