About the Portofino family

The Portofino was introduced in 1984 as IWC's round dress watch, named after the Italian harbour town. Its simple dial, slim bezel and classic case made it the brand's most understated line.

The catalog includes automatic time-and-date models, chronographs, moon phases and eight-day models, with calibers such as 35111 and 59210, in stainless steel, 18k 5N gold and 18k white gold. Dealers identify the size and function from the reference and check the strap or Milanese bracelet.
