Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42mm IW344203 is a remarkable representation of IWC Schaffhausen’s technical mastery and aesthetic refinement. As part of the prestigious Portugieser family, this timepiece delivers the sophistication of a perpetual calendar within a 42mm case, making it more wearable while maintaining the full grandeur of high horology.

Encased in 18-carat 5N rose gold, the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42mm IW344203 radiates timeless elegance. The warm tone of the gold is perfectly complemented by a silver-plated dial that highlights the complexity of the perpetual calendar display. The dial is meticulously laid out with three subdials that show the date, day, month, and moon phase, offering intuitive readability despite the mechanical sophistication beneath.

The hallmark of this watch is its perpetual calendar function, one of the most revered complications in haute horlogerie. Engineered to automatically adjust for leap years and varying month lengths, it requires no manual correction until the year 2100. This complication is integrated seamlessly with the IWC-manufactured Calibre 82650, a highly efficient automatic movement equipped with the Pellaton winding system, using ceramic components to ensure exceptional durability and a 60-hour power reserve.

The moon phase indicator at 6 o’clock showcases IWC’s renowned astronomical accuracy, deviating by just one day in 577.5 years. It’s a poetic and visually stunning feature that enhances the elegance of the silver dial, while the applied gold Arabic numerals and slender leaf-shaped hands add classic Portugieser styling.

The see-through sapphire crystal case back allows a clear view of the beautifully decorated movement. You can admire the skeletonized rotor, Geneva stripes, and perlage, which reflect IWC’s commitment to visual artistry as much as technical achievement.

This exceptional timepiece is fitted with a luxurious brown alligator leather strap crafted by Santoni, known for their artisanal hand finishing. The strap’s fine texture and warm hue echo the rose gold case, creating a harmonious, upscale appearance. The watch is secured with a matching 18k gold folding clasp, offering both security and elegance in wear.

Despite its complexity, the IW344203 is surprisingly comfortable on the wrist, thanks to its refined 42mm diameter and ergonomic design. It has a water resistance of 5 bar (50 meters), which offers peace of mind for everyday luxury use.
