IWC Portugaise & Rolex Oyster Royal – 1944 & 1948
At times, the Clinique Horlogère welcomes more than one exceptional piece. Such is the case here, with two icons: an IWC Portuguese from 1944 and a Rolex Oyster Royal from 1948. The Portuguese, reference 325, with its impressive 42 mm diameter and calibre 74, was visionary for its time. Both sober and modern, it remains a legend today. Alongside it, the 31 mm Rolex Oyster Royal ref. 4444, powered by calibre 9303, embodies the robustness and timeless elegance of the
Geneva manufacture. Two watches, different in size and character, yet united as witnesses of an era when Swiss watchmaking already combined technical mastery with elegance.
