IWC - Portuguese 18kt Rose Gold Automatic Chronograph - IW371402 - Men - 2011-present
IWC - Portuguese 18kt Rose Gold Automatic Chronograph - IW371402 The IWC Portugieser (formerly Portuguese) was first introduced in 1939 and is the most popular series in the Schaffhausen manufacturer’s collection. The watch was named after two Portuguese businessmen - Rodrigues and Texiera - who approached IWC in the 1930s and requested a large stainless steel wristwatch that could match the precision of a marine chronometer. IWC responded by creating a timepiece made from a modified pocket watch measuring a whopping 43mm which was very large for the time. Despite the size, the hallmarks of the Portuguese were there; a minimalistic dial with bold Arabic numerals coupled with a thin bezel that made the watch appear even larger. The watch would sell in small quantities for decades until the mid-1990’s when IWC decided to re-design and release it for the modern watch market. Since the Portugieser’s rebirth, the watch has gone on to become the gem in IWC’s crown and is available in a multitude of case material options and complications. The watch stays true to the original designs but now comes in three different sizes (crucially a smaller 41 mm version for those of us with smaller wrists) and several dial colors. Reference No: IW371402 Serial No: 2678445 Case Material: 18kt Rose Gold Diameter: 41 mm Dial: Silver Case Back: Solid Strap: Leather (Aftermarket - Handmade) Strap Length: 21 cm Claps: Buckle Glass: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal Condition: Worn & Very good condition Movement: Automatic (Calibre 79320) - (28,800 vph) - (27 Jewels) Functions: Chronograph, Hour, Minute, and Second Extras: No. (The box appears that in picture is my shooting platform) Sent by Fed. Ex or UPS Express (it’s so safe and fast) #Watch. Resources
