Portugieser Automatic

The IWC Portugieser Automatic reference IW500710 is an elegant and iconic example of haute horology, offered here in good condition with original box and papers. Celebrated for its timeless design and refined engineering, this model represents a distinguished choice within the certified pre-owned luxury watch segment.

Housed in a 42.3 mm stainless steel case, the Portugieser Automatic combines classic proportions with a clean and open dial layout. The silver dial features slender feuille (leaf-shaped) hands, applied Arabic numerals, and characteristic railroad-style minute track — all hallmarks of the Portugieser lineage that reflect its nautical heritage and precise timekeeping roots. A generous power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock contribute to a balanced and functional design.

Powering the watch is IWC’s automatic in-house calibre 52010, a robust movement known for its reliability and performance. Operating with efficient winding mechanics, the calibre delivers an approximately 7-day (168-hour) power reserve, making it practical for extended wear without frequent winding. The movement’s balanced architecture can be admired through the sapphire exhibition case back, showcasing refined finishing typical of IWC’s craftsmanship.

This particular example is offered in good condition with visible light scratches and minor marks: the sapphire crystal presents light surface scratches and some small chips, and the bezel shows a few marks consistent with wear. These imperfections do not impact the watch’s mechanical performance and can be expected with regular use over time. The case and bracelet retain strong overall condition, and the dial remains crisp and clear.

Accompanied by its original box and papers, this Portugieser Automatic represents a superb opportunity to acquire a classic dress-sport timepiece with both mechanical depth and enduring style. Its combination of iconic design, extended power reserve, and complete documentation makes it an appealing addition for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a premium pre-owned luxury watch.
