IWC Portuguese Minute Repeater White Gold.
This is the first generation. A wonderful watch, aesthetically, front and back.
A pity the governor is too loud. It kills the sound of the minute repeater.
I sold it some 19 years ago to get the JLC MMR in titanium. But I loved it.
Best,

The look is top notch, the sound- isn't.
Would jump immediately if they made the same look in a simple watch.
I remember this one well from years back, as it haunted my dreams for a time !!
I'm surprised to learn now about the governor's disruptive sound and that it was deemed to pass muster at IWC.
You were there!
Our WatchProSite members were complaining that I was abusing the poor watch. Oops!
That looks very elegant, front and back.
I can certainly see why you would like it. All the best, Jon
Saw it in the metal back in 2017. It has stuck with me
Sat next to a lucky and happy owner at a session at my favorite Copenhagen AD back in 2017. The discrete and simple beauty of this watch stuck with me. Another IYKYK-watch that does not scream out loud about its abilities. I love that. Claus ...
