Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic for its timeless beauty, stunning design, and pure class, with particular admiration for the dial's depth and brilliance achieved through 15 layers of lacquer. The 7-day power reserve, housed within a 42.4mm case, is a significant draw, often noted as a compelling feature for a watch of this size. Some owners find the 42.4mm case to be on the larger side, with one owner preferring it on a strap over a bracelet and another noting it was pushing the size limit for a 6.25" wrist. A desire for smaller case size options, specifically 38mm or 36-38mm, is also expressed by multiple owners. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic highly for its captivating aesthetics and impressive 7-day power reserve.
