IWC IW3531 Portugieser SS Silver Dial

The IWC Portugieser IW3531, introduced circa 1999, is a refined and compact iteration of IWC’s storied Portugieser line, offering a classically proportioned 35 mm stainless steel case that wears larger than its size suggests thanks to a slender bezel and generous dial real estate. The watch houses the esteemed Jaeger‑LeCoultre‑based IWC Caliber 891/2 automatic movement, delivering approximately 38 hours of power reserve and featuring a small seconds complication at 6 o’clock. Its matte silver dial is adorned with raised rose‑gold‑toned Arabic numerals and leaf hands, complemented by a display (exhibition) case back that showcases the movement’s finishing. With a modest 30 m water resistance, this elegant timepiece is a boutique‑caliber dress watch that appeals to collectors seeking historical significance and understated rarity. Its “baby” Portugieser dimensions and high‑grade JLC movement make it particularly sought after among connoisseurs of vintage IWC dress watches. Excellent Condition with IWC travel pouch.
