Catalogue Essay
- The IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater ref. 5240 is a beautiful study in restraint— discreet, and effortlessly refined. At first glance, it’s a classic 42mm platinum Portuguese, but beneath the surface lies one of watchmaking’s most poetic complications.
- Introduced in 1995, the 5240 borrows the elegant case of the Portuguese Anniversary model and pairs it with a reworked version of IWC’s grande complication repeater system—blending tradition with technical mastery in the most subtle of ways.
- Limited to only 50 pieces in platinum, the present watch is accompanied by its international guarantee card and fitted wooden presentation box.
