This Watch Your Style.
My name is Eric.
Today's review is gonna be on the IWC Perpetual Calendar.
So, this is the first video that I do a review on for IWC watches and IWC is a brand that...it's
a little tricky in my opinion and I figured, since I haven't done one on IWC yet, I might
as well just do it on the Perpetual Calendar.
This is a model that has always...it's always grabbed my attention, so it's something that
has always caught my eye.
There's a lot of different models from them, you know?
They have, for example, the IWC Portuguese Chronograph is a nice looking watch, but the
Perpetual Calendar it's a model that's always grabbed my attention.
This one particularly I have here is the Reference Number 5032-02.
And it's a stunning watch man!
You know, 44 millimeter case, which is a little bit big.
It's a little bit big for a dress watch, but it's not overkill like the Big Pilot.
I mean, I'm not hating on the Big Pilot guys.
I'm just saying, it's not overkill, so it's something that can still remain elegant.
But, I just always have liked the layout of the dial of the Portuguese Perpetual Calendar.
It just has a really nice layout to the dial.
It's very balanced, with all the features on there.
Like any Perpetual Calendar, obviously it has the day, the month, the year and everything.
It's got the moonphase.
You name it, it's got it.
It has everything.
But, one thing about IWC is that...let me tell you, they're very well made and there's
a lot of quality behind the brand.
The only thing is, depending on where you are in the world, the market value might be
stronger than other places.
For example, I'm in Miami and here at CRM Jewelers we don't sell as many IWC's as I
would like and mostly that's just because I don't know, I guess I don't get a lot of
requests for them.
It doesn't mean that it's not a great watch.
IWC is a watch that's got a lot of background.
It's well made.
I can't stress that enough.
They have a lot of attention to detail.
For example, this particular model that I have here has a stunning case that when you
look at it on the sides, it has a combination of polish and brushed � and you know that
I always say this on the videos that, I'm the person that I'm a sucker for a well played
out combination of polish and brushed.
It's got a huge, clear, sapphire caseback.
I'm talking about huge!
It looks like one of those giant bay windows...that shows the whole movement.
It's got an overall clean looking movement, with a lot of details and one of the things
that I know it's kind of stupid...one of the things that gets my attention always when
I see one of these rose gold IWC's is the clasp that they have.
The clasp alone looks like it weights 50 pennyweights, you know?
It's very big, robust, but obviously still classy and fits very well.
When you look at it right there, it's just a very simple, sleek design.
But, I think just overall, if you were going to get a dress IWC, for me, the IWC Portuguese
Perpetual Calendar is just kind of the best choice in my opinion.
It just has a very good look.
They have them in several different versions.
They got a white with a blue dial.
I think they just released a new one that's got like a slate dial with a little bit of
a different layout on the moon phase and the dial, but this is one of the older ones.
So, out of all three colors, which would be white, yellow or rose, this example right
here is my personal favorite.
Well, let's go a little bit about the pricing.
This watch has an MSRP of $38,000.
Now, if you're looking to buy one, there was a time, maybe like 3 or 4 years ago, where
they were more in the $24,000 range, but now a days, they kind of slowed down a little
bit, and it's more in the $20,000 to $25,000 range.
Really just depends on if it's new or used and the condition and all that.
But, if you're looking to pick one up, you're gonna wanna be from $20,000 to $25,000.
Now, as far as the Watch Game goes, this is a Heavy Hitter.
It doesn't have...I get it...it's not an $80,000 Patek.
It's not a 5060, but this watch has a lot of oomph, you know?
It's one of those pieces that's serious.
To begin with, it's a Perpetual Calendar.
I mean, all perpetual calendars it's pretty much a very complicated watch that has plenty
of features and a lot of things to offer, so you're not just wearing a simple piece.
You're wearing a very technical piece when you're wearing this watch.
And for watch lovers and connoisseurs out there, everybody recognizes the IWC Perpetual
Calendar.
Whether it might be your favorite watch or not, it's definitely a heavy piece and it's
definitely a watch connoisseurs kind of piece.
So that's enough for today's review on the IWC watches.
I'm gonna be doing more on IWC in the future.
I'm just kinda waiting to get specific pieces that I wanna talk with you guys about.
And I also have more brands that I'm going to be covering soon, on top of my usual AP,
Rolex and all that type of stuff.
