The side-effect of a GTG in Holland

Welcome to the PPC club, Tonny. It's an amazing watch. I am in withdrawal as mine is in Schaffhausen for some service. Enjoy yours and wear it in good health. If you have any other side effects from the IWC Holland virus, let us know.

Here is an older photo of mine that is often my desktop image as a reminder.

Congratulations, Tonny! I can see why you succumbed...it's my favorite and it is classic!

Does that work?!!

Congratulations on a great acquisition.

Ahh Tonny - I fully understand. Could not be helped. Virus was rampant that day!

...and what a handsome piece - as result of the infection.

Wear in good health my friend.

Very nice, Tonny. Now I understand why you were selling some really nice watches! Congratulations on getting one of the very nicest!

A very tempting watch, rose gold white dial is a very classic combination indeed. Enjoy it!

Kind regards,
Paul

Aah, good to know where it went! Congratulations Tonny on getting this very handsome Portuguese Perpetual! Enjoy and wear it in good health, let's soon have another GTG so I can give this new beauty another good look!

Kind regards,

Clemens

PS: please answer the Christmas present question, I have a similar issue at hand and the sooner I can get that one out of the box the better!

congrats Tonny. acquisition of a portuguese perpetual has too many rights, and no wrongs, about it. enjoy, enjoy !

Tonny, excelent choice, early presents are always good.
Enjoy it and wear itin good health.

Regards,
Kevin

Congrats Tonny. Among all the rose gold PPCs, this one is my favorite along with the new 5023. Wear it in good health.

Good choice Tonny. I always enjoyed this watch whenever Bill wore it...which was often. Can't go wrong with a PPC. and like Kevin, Christmas is early this year.

+1!

+1!

Congratulations, Tonny!

Wonderful choice Tonny!

Tonny...nice pick-up. CONGRATS !!

Would like to join the PC crowd one day. Perhaps IWC could offer a 42mm version for us "wrist size" challenged admirers.

Andy

Ooh. Tonny. Very nice indeed. Congratulations on such a fine Portuguese Perpetual Calendar.

First of all a big congrats Tonny - you chose the exact timepiece that drew me to IWC in the first place. Your new watch's brother says hi from Norway (older picture):

PS! I really love that sparkling sky of the 5022 too, especially after hearing how difficult it was for IWC to manufacure that stone - so much in fact that they gave it up for the 5023!

Andy - you are in luck my friend, if you can find a 5022 they are indeed 42,3mm (as opposed to the 5023 at 44,1mm) - so now you have no excuse - LoL :-)

Tonny,
This is one fine choice- you can be very happy, for sure!

Nelson

Tonny, congratulation. Wear it in good health. So now it is time to have another PPC GTG:-)

Skule my UCSB friend....42.3 you say? WOW...tell me more. What variations did this come in? How long ago was the 5022 retired? Any and all details please !

Members out there who have the 5022, I invite you to post your pic's. I think I might have found something that I thought was not in the cards for me.

This virus shows no mercy. Wife is urging me to call the "Centers for Disease Control" (CDC) for help !

Oh my God, a PPC in my size. Pinch me !

Thanks for that info Skule, I didn't realize that IWC changed the moon phase disk for the new version!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Andy - Don't contact the CDC. The inevitable outcome is that you would infect them with the virus rather than cure yourself.

As for the 5022, I see Platinum with white dial, Yellow Gold with white dial and White Gold with gray dial (my favorite). There may be others - those are what I saw for sale on a well-known watch sales site. By the way, congratulations on your soon-to-be incoming. :)

Tonny - Many many congratulations. I wish you perpetual happiness with this beautiful watch in your collection.
