If you like blue dials, chronographs and the classic Portugieser design, you should not miss the opportunity to own a truly unique piece that IWC created and donated to help finance the activities of the Italian Laureus Foundation (Fondazione Laureus Italia Onlus) whose primary focus is on fostering the personal development of children and adolescents and promoting the integration of young people who are disadvantaged for social, economic or other reasons.

This one-of-a-kind Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante comes in a 41 mm platinum case and the distinctive blue dial that characterizes all the Laureus special editions created by IWC in many years of partnerships.

The  attractive dial is also recognisable for featuring tachymetric scale and telemetric scale. The latter is used to calculate the distance of an event (lighting, for example) based on the time interval from when the lightning is seen to when the sound is heard.

The three chronograph pushers, instead of the usual two, identify the timepiece as a rattrapante chronograph. The "rattrapante" word is based on the French verb "rattraper," which means "to catch again".

Unlike a standard chronograph, the rattrapante or split-seconds chronograph has two hands that start simultaneously. The rattrapante hand, which is superimposed on the stopwatch hand, can be stopped independently using the third push button at 10 o’clock, while the stopwatch hand continues to run. This permits the user to record two separate times, exact to the second, within any given minute. If the third button is pushed again, the split-seconds hand instantaneously catches up and is synchronised with the other hand.

The connection with Milan is emphasised by the back case incision evoking the "Biscione", the grass snake of the Visconti noble dynasty which became the symbol of the city during the Middle Ages. The back case also remarks that this is a piece unique.

The watch is powered by the hand-wound IWC-manufactured calibre 76240 beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offering a power reserve of 44 hours.

The Portugieser Chronograph Rattrapante in platinum, unique piece for Laureus Charity, will be on sale in Milan on occasion of the Laureus Charity Night that will be held on 5 September 2019. Until September 4, 2019 it will be possible to bid for the watch at this link.

The amount that will be achieved during the on-line auction will be the starting price for the live auction to be held during the charity night. iwc.com
