Gold Quality Replica IWC Portugieser Minute Repeater Ref. IW5242-02

The debut of an IWC classic timepiece: the original Portuguese Minute Repeater Ref. IW5240 quality replica. This is from a time when minute repeater watches were very rare.

The Case, Dial, and Hands

The original IWC Replica Watch minute repeater was fitted with plexiglass instead, so the introduction of sapphire crystal into the second-generation striker can be seen as a turning point towards a more modern design.

The finish of the Calibre 95290 is exemplary, which you can see through the sapphire crystal case back. The bridges are Côtes de Genève, with beveled and polished edges. There are not only rounded corners in the IWC Replica Watches Reviews movement, but sharp outward corners that are more difficult to execute. The base plate is adorned with plenty of pearl, while the heads of the screws that hold the bridges are polished.
