The APSF Portugieser Automatic 42 IW501701 is a refined dress watch that showcases the clean and elegant design language that has made the Portugieser collection one of the most respected lines in modern watchmaking. Combining balanced proportions, a highly legible dial, and an advanced movement architecture, this model offers an exceptional blend of sophistication and everyday practicality.
Crafted from stainless steel with a 42mm case size, the watch provides substantial wrist presence while maintaining a slim and elegant profile. The polished case surfaces and narrow bezel maximize dial visibility, creating the distinctive appearance that defines the Portugieser collection.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its beautiful silver-white dial. The clean dial layout features applied Arabic numerals, railway-style minute track, and heat-blued hands that create a striking contrast against the bright dial surface. Under changing lighting conditions, the dial reveals subtle silver and ivory tones while maintaining exceptional legibility.
A power reserve indicator is positioned at 3 o'clock, while the small seconds display sits at 9 o'clock, creating a perfectly balanced and symmetrical layout. The combination of blue numerals, blue hands, and the silver dial remains one of the most iconic and sought-after Portugieser configurations.
Powering the watch is the A52011 Super Clone Automatic Movement. Designed to replicate the architecture and appearance of the genuine IWC Calibre 52011, the movement features automatic winding, power reserve display, small seconds, hacking seconds, and a highly detailed movement presentation visible through the sapphire caseback. APSF's Portugieser platform is widely regarded among collectors as one of the strongest available for the modern Automatic 42 series.
The blue leather strap perfectly complements the blued hands and numerals while enhancing the elegant character of the watch. Its comfortable construction and classic appearance make it equally suitable for formal occasions and everyday wear.
APSF has earned a strong reputation among enthusiasts for its Portugieser models due to its case finishing, dial quality, crystal clarity, and movement presentation. The IW501701 remains one of the most elegant and versatile references within the collection thanks to its timeless silver-and-blue color combination.
