Catalogue Essay This impressive timepiece represents a union of exceptional watchmaking and exquisite craftsmanship. Housed within a 44mm pink gold case is the cal. 50910 self-winding movement. Its seven-day power reserve animates the mesmerizing floating one-minute tourbillon at 12 o'clock, complemented by the small seconds and power reserve displays at 9 o'clock to perfectly balance the skeletonized dial. The movement itself is a work of art - skeletonized and hand-engraved to highlight traditional finishing at its finest. Through the sapphire caseback, the engraved gold rotor is visible oscillating with artistic flair. The IWC Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère Squelette is part of a limited 50-piece production in each of the three precious metals, with the present example in pink gold numbered 11/50. This mechanical wonder represents the best of IWC and is offered in incredible condition. With a design that seduces the eye while upholding top-tier fine watchmaking traditions, it is a worthy addition for connoisseurs who appreciate the mastery of skeletonization and tourbillon complication.
