IWC Schaffhausen Blue White Gold Portugieser Automatic Watch 40.4mm

IWC Schaffhausen demonstrates first-hand what makes a timepiece iconic with its Portugieser Automatic watch. The elegantly athletic model is more than a sought-after design; it forms part of one of the Swiss brand’s most prestigious collections, which had its start in the 1930s. The story goes that IWC was approached by two Portuguese businessmen requesting a wristwatch with the same precision as marine chronometers and, as a result, the first Portugieser was born. Today, the style remains one of horology’s finest and you can analyse its legendary, robust movement at work thanks to the sapphire-glass case back of this modern rendition.
