The IWC Portugieser (ref. IW501707) carries forward the spirit of its 2015 predecessor with a refined update in both mechanics and form. Released in 2024, this rose gold automatic combines the Portugieser’s historic proportions with a bold, modern presence, anchored by a sleek black dial and elongated leaf-style hands.

Its 42.4mm case stands 12.9mm tall, housing the self-winding calibre 52011 – an evolution of IWC’s 52010, known for its lineage in the Big Pilot and notable for its Pellaton winding system and double barrel construction. The movement delivers an exceptional 168-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback. The smooth bezel and compact lug design contribute to a balanced profile, reinforcing its adaptability as a dress or business watch. While water‑resistance figures are not specified, the model retains its elegant yet practical character.

With its clean dial layout, seven-day autonomous running time, and precious metal construction, the IW501707 stands as a contemporary flagship within the Portugieser family – merging IWC's technical prowess with design restraint.
