The IWC Portugieser Chronograph (ref. IW371614) reinterprets a classic silhouette with a bold but refined pairing of 18ct rose gold and a deep blue dial. Its signature railway-style minute track and recessed totalisers recall the original Portugieser aesthetic, while the precious metal case lifts the design into more formal territory without compromising on legibility.

With a 41mm rose-gold case and slim bezel, the watch offers a balanced presence on the wrist. The sunburst blue dial stands out for its vertical symmetry and use of Arabic numerals, while feuille hands track time against the printed minutes scale. At its heart is IWC’s in-house calibre 69355 – a column-wheel chronograph movement with 46 hours of power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback. Water-resistant to 30m, the case is fitted with a dark blue alligator strap for tonal continuity.

Though part of IWC’s core Portugieser line, the ref. IW371614 occupies a more luxurious tier thanks to its rose-gold execution. It remains a favourite among collectors seeking one of the most classically proportioned automatic chronographs in precious metal.
