Referred to as the Jubilee, the appearance of the Reference 5441 was modeled on the original models from the 1930s, down to its Arabic numerals and gorgeous leaf hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eFollowing the release of the 5441, IWC launched the Vintage Collection, with a range of watches from simple, time-only examples like the Portuguese to a “dress” (that is, non-pilot’s) chronograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAnd in 2010, IWC released the Classic collection, which took the traditional look of the Vintage Collection and gave it a more modern feel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhich brings us to this watch, the Reference 5703, or \u003cem\u003ePure Classic\u003c\/em\u003e. At the time of its release, IWC decided to modify the Portuguese even further, making it slimmer than its predecessors. Instead of using an in-house calibre, the manufacture decided to adapt a movement by Piaget, a brand known for the thinness of their movements, to create the Calibre 62060.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe Pure Classic was released in a limited edition of 500 pieces, and was \u003cem\u003enever listed\u003c\/em\u003e in IWC's catalog. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAt 42mm, it’s in keeping with the proportions of the original Portuguese, but the movement from Piaget gives it an airy thinness that makes it an absolute pleasure to wear. A classic through and through, it’s a modern watch with enough history and heritage to please even the most stalwart of vintage watch connoisseurs. Consider us impressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39454825349207,"sku":"40970016","price":5485.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS04874_40970016_IWC_PORTUGUESEPURECLASSIC_5703-6.jpg?v=1635275088","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/iwc-portugieser-pure-classic-limited-edition-as04874","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
