IWC Watchmaker assembles the Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse (Ref. IW501709)

Crafting Lunar New Year Energy. Inside the Portugieser Automatic 42 Year of the Horse, the IWC-manufactured 52011 calibre comes to life. Its Pellaton winding system with virtually wear-free ceramic components powers a 7-day reserve across two barrels, while the gold-plated rotor, shaped like a galloping horse, celebrates the Lunar New Year. The 42 mm stainless steel case features a slender side profile and box-shaped sapphire crystals on the front and back, offering a clear view of the movement. The burgundy dial, with golden hands, Roman numerals, appliques, small seconds at 9 o'clock, power reserve at 3 o'clock, and a discreet date window at 6 o'clock, complements the limited edition's refined design. Delivered with black and burgundy leather straps and a stainless steel folding clasp, this watch embodies energy, progress, and precision in every meticulously assembled detail.
