IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon 42 mm Armor Gold White Dial

The IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon 42 mm in Armor Gold is a masterpiece of haute horlogerie, combining the timeless elegance of the Portugieser line with one of watchmaking’s most revered complications. Crafted from IWC’s proprietary Armor Gold, this alloy offers greater hardness and durability than traditional 5N gold—preserving its warm, lustrous tone while significantly increasing scratch resistance.

The minimalistic white dial provides a serene canvas that draws the eye directly to the watch’s highlight: the exquisite flying tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock. Its rotating cage showcases the heartbeat of the movement, countering the effects of gravity and demonstrating IWC’s precision engineering at its finest.

This hand-wound calibre delivers an intimate, traditional experience—inviting the wearer to engage with the watch through daily winding. The fine finishing of both the tourbillon and movement reflects IWC’s commitment to artisanal craftsmanship and mechanical purity.

Paired with a black alligator leather strap, this tourbillon model embodies classical sophistication, technical mastery, and the enduring aesthetics that define the Portugieser collection.
