This chronograph features a quarter second scale for precision timing. The pleasant height and the attractive size of the case have made the Portuguese chronograph one of the most popular timepieces produced by IWC. With the sunk subsidiary dials, the Arabic rose gold numerals and the beautifully proportioned rose gold leaf ands for hours and minutes, the watch is easily readable and has a fine, elegant appeal.
The gold case has taken on a rainbow-coloured patina.
