    Only just discovered this today:

    Quoting from official writeup:

    [b]IWC Portuguese Automatic

    The flagship model for IWC, the Portuguese seven days power reserve automatic wristwatch. The balanced design of the dial showing the hour, minute, second, date, as well as a seven days power reserve indicator. The 42.3mm 18k red gold case, matched with the brown dial that IWC exclusively made for Oriental Watch, make the watch looks yet trendy. Besides, "one out of 50" is engraved on the side of every "Oriental Watch 50th anniversary limited edition" watch, showing the uniqueness and value of the watch. The watch is limited to 50pcs around the world.

    Movement: IWC 51011 Calibre
    Frequency: 21,600Vph
    Jewels: 42pcs
    Power Reserve: 7 days
    Case Diameter: 42.3mm
    Case Height: 14mm
    Water-resistance: 30m
    Material: 18-carat Red Gold
    Strap: Alligator Leather[/b]

    I saw one very similar to this as a LE in Las Vegas at one of the large AD's there....begins with "T".

    Apologies for poor pic. this latest phone device comes assumes closeup shots are unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

    Both watch casings and dials are identical in my opinion.
