IWC Schaffhausen Portuguese IW5445-05 Limited Edition 69/500 Platinum Alligator Leather Men's Wristwatch 44 mm

The IWC Portuguese IW5445 was born from a lineage that dates back to 1939, when two Portuguese businessmen requested a wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch. IWC responded with an oversized, highly legible timepiece housing a pocket watch movement—a radical concept for the time that would go on to define the DNA of the Portuguese collection. Fast forward to the 21st century, the IW5445 was introduced as a tribute to the original: clean, classical, and uncompromising in its proportions. Produced in limited numbers, this platinum IW5445-05 from 2016 is one of just 500 pieces, expressed with austere beauty and mechanical honesty. Its spacious 44 mm case returns to the roots of traditional watchmaking, free from complication and reliant instead on balance, scale, and precision. At its heart beats the hand-wound calibre 98295, its magnificence visible through an exhibition case back. From the curved lugs to the small seconds at six o’clock, every detail underscores the IW5445 as a collector’s prize and as a celebration of IWC’s enduring legacy. Original retail price: AED 150,000 / USD 41,000
