2010MY IWC Portuguese Automatic 7 Days Power Reserve chronograph (Ref. IW500114)

The IWC Portuguese Automatic 7 Days chronograph watch with power reserve has been slightly refreshed for the new season.



The elegant and simple watch has received a new silver dial that was previously available only with the Portuguese Automatic in rose gold (ref. IW500101).

Of course, the rose gold hands, hour indices and Arabic numerals look somewhat strange with this polished stainless steel body, but the Swiss watch maker partly compensated the awkwardness with a more interesting price.

IWC recommends to sell the IW500114 at a price of €9350, while the IW500101 is sold at around €13,000.
