I don’t know about you, but when I think of modern watches with a perpetual calendar, I think of the IWC Portugieser. For the first time in 2024, the IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 Replica Watches For Sale series is available in four models with completely redesigned 18K “armor gold” or 18K white gold cases, four distinct dial colors, and a 7-day power reserve.
Whether or not one likes the Portugieser – and perpetual calendar watches in general – it exudes the confidence of a bedroom wall poster, as if it’s trying to become the definitive benchmark for luxury perpetual calendar watches today. The IWC Replica Swiss Made is 44 (actually 44.4) millimeters wide and 14.9 millimeters thick. At this point, I wish more brands would include case diameter in their product names.
The bezels are ultra-thin, tall, concave and highly polished, doing their best to reduce the apparent diameter of the new Portugieser Series Perpetual 44 and, dare I say it, introduce some very old-school proportions. Overall, this is a beautiful, majestic and quite simple design – this should be the poetry of IWC design.
The four new versions are AAA IWC Replica Watches Ref. IW503702 Obsidian over 18k 5N Armor Gold®, Model: IW503701 Silver Moon in 18k 5N Armor Gold®, Model: IW503704 Dune in 18k White Gold, and Ref. IW503703 Horizon Blue in 18k White Gold – follow the gallery above Hourly arrangement. They both have a screw-down crown, sapphire crystal on the front and back, and are water-resistant to 5 bar (equivalent to 50m).
The dials are beautifully crafted, each offering a powerful and alluring color palette. A solid case can be made for each of them. The color coordination of the applied hour-markers, the stunning leaf-shaped hands and the four-digit year indicator dial all play a role in creating a lasting overall impression. This is the minimum one can expect from this kind of money.
Winding system with ceramic components for bi-directional operation. This isn’t a small base movement housing a perpetual module: it’s a massive movement that almost completely fills this 44.4mm wide case. Its complications include a perpetual calendar showing the Cheap IWC Replica date, day of the week, month and year in four digits, perpetual moon phases for the northern and southern hemispheres, and small seconds.
In fact, the Best IWC Portugieser Perpetual Replica Watches only needs a nudge as it’s already a complete package – although a smaller (much smaller) version would be nice in the future. Impressive but not overwhelming quality, and a solid and durable case.
