IWC IW570302 Portugieser "Pure Classic" SS Black Dial LIMITED

The IWC IW570302 Portugieser Pure Classic stands as a rarefied limited edition, produced in 2011 as a run of only 500 pieces. Housed within a 42mm stainless steel case and paired with a luxurious hand-finished black alligator strap by Santoni, this modern Portugieser pays powerful tribute to IWC's tradition of pared-down elegance. The black dial exudes clarity, featuring a minimalist two-hand design with applied gold Arabic numerals and distinctive leaf-shaped hands. At its heart, the watch is powered by the manual wind IWC Caliber 62060, which boasts a robust 61-hour power reserve, exemplifying the brand's dedication to in-house mechanical precision. This model revives IWC’s historical DNA, referencing the original Portugieser proportions and aesthetic purity—elements highly sought after by collectors who value discretion and movement architecture alike. Notably devoid of complications beyond hours and minutes, the Pure Classic distills timekeeping to its essence, making it an essential piece for connoisseurs of restrained, horological artistry. With its limited production, refined finishing, and quintessential IWC style, the IW570302 asserts itself as an enduring collectible—and a testament to the continued relevance of the manual-wind dress watch.
