Integrating the renowned perpetual calendar complication developed by Kurt Klaus, the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 from IWC marks a significant advancement by housing this feature within the 82000-calibre family movement for the first time. Its sophisticated mechanism automatically adjusts for the varying lengths of months and leap years, simplifying adjustments via a single crown. The watch showcases the date, month, and weekday on subdials at "3 o'clock", "6 o'clock", and "9 o'clock", while also featuring indications for the moon phase and leap year. Powered by the IWC-manufactured 82650 calibre, this timepiece boasts a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components, offering a commendable power reserve of 60 hours. Encased in stainless steel and adorned with a silver-plated dial, gold-plated hands, and appliqués, it exudes timeless elegance. Complemented by a black alligator leather strap from Santoni, this Portugieser exemplifies sophistication and horological excellence.
