IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic

Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic for its timeless design, stunning dials with depth and brilliance from multiple lacquer layers, and pure class. The 42.4mm case size is noted as fitting well for many, and the in-house Calibre 52011 movement offers a 7-day power reserve. Some owners appreciate the pocket watch aesthetic and the suitability of alligator straps over steel bracelets for its dressier vibe. However, some owners wish for smaller case size options, with a preference for 36-38mm. One owner reported the watch stopping after 13-14 hours off the wrist, contrary to the claimed power reserve. There is also a community observation that IWC Portugieser Automatics can depreciate significantly.
