- In July 2016, IWC inaugurated its Milan boutique and marked the occasion with a highly exclusive limited edition of just 100 pieces, the present watch being number 5. In a move that delighted long-time enthusiasts, the “Boutique Milano” Portugieser reintroduced the split-seconds chronograph to the line for the first time since 2006—a complication collectors had eagerly awaited for over a decade.

- Encased in a robust yet elegant 41mm case, the watch features a striking metallic navy blue dial enhanced by both telemeter and tachymeter scales, a rare dual configuration previously seen on the 2004 “Barozzi” Portugieser created for the Italian market. This detail creates a subtle yet meaningful bridge between two special Italian-inspired editions of the Portugieser.

- The present example is preserved in very good overall condition and is offered complete with its full complement of accessories—an exciting opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable modern Portugieser chronographs.
