IWC, Portuguese, Minute Repeater, Limited Edition Ref. 5240PT platinum wristwatch Year 1995 Manual-wind movement Silver dial with roman numerals Case n. 14/50 Movement n. 2495276 Cal. 95290 Diam. mm 42   This IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater model, introduced in 1995, is a triumph of understated elegance and supreme watchmaking engineering. In a very limited run of 50 platinum pieces, the Schaffhausen-based manufacturer has enriched its iconic line by introducing one of its most poetic complications: the minute repeater, activated by a lateral slide. The watch combines a neo-vintage aesthetic, characterized by applied Arabic numerals, leaf-shaped hands, and a traditional plexiglass crystal that gives the dial an optical "warmth," combined with an elegant 42 mm case, rather than the 44 mm of later editions, making it more faithful to the original Portugieser from 1939. At its heart is the hand-wound caliber 95290, derived from the brand's glorious pocket watches. This timepiece still represents a perfect bridge between aesthetic minimalism and absolute mechanical excellence.
