I would like to know the cadence of the balance of the Portuguese 5001 watch, a model that I hope to own soon.
It would be nice that IWC include that information with each of its models.

The current 5001 beats at 3 Hz. I believe this info was available on the old site but I just checked here and couldn't find it.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

I can't find the info on the collections site either. Strange that it's missing.
21600 vph for the current calibre 51011.
18000 vph for 51010.
There's much in archived posts, such as the chart here

JL is correct: early ones were 2.5 Hz (18000 vph) but today it's 3 Hz.
Many thanks for the information. I will like to see in the future that information included in all the IWC movements, as other brands do.

Hector, there is a table in the 2011/2012 catelogue providing such information for those models with IWC in-house movements.

Many thanks, Dave. I forgot to seek in the catalog.
