Has to be the current BP 5004 in White Gold.
The size, the ardoise dial with extra level of detailing that makes it look somehow far more alive than the flatter SS version, the subtle rich red markings on the power reserve dial, the glint of the hands, the jumbo second hand, the pineapple oversized crown, the wonderful overall finishing, the thoroughly useful 7 day power reserve.
Not too simple, not too complex. Superb...
I can't see how IWC will ever top this one. Consider that a challenge, IWC designers!

The rose gold Portuguese Perpetual Calendar is still at the top of my "most beautiful" list...with the new blue PPC coming in a very close second! All you have to do is gaze upon Bill's picture and it takes your breath away!

These are the top 3 beauties in a collection of amazing pieces. Each a bit different from each other but all are sublime examples of balanced, elegant and breath-taking design.

That's a tough question as always.
I tend to those two:
Not sure which one is first. I haven't seen the Yacht Club in person yet. And the image of the AT doesn't unveil its real beauty. But it's the only one I've found in here. I cannot find the wallpapers and posters on the new website. I just wanted to post a link to the Aquatimer wallpaper. But it seems to have disappeared.
In my opinion this site has less content and seems to be very small.
Sorry if I'm too critical but I liked the previous version better.
I totally agree with you Alex. And this movement in the ±40mm case of ref. 3714 would have been more suitable, imho.

Tilo - I think you may have missed the posts about this being an interim website. New site is being planned for the end of this year.
