Featuring a design that is as timeless as it is elegant, the Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase is available in 18-carat 5N gold with a silver-plated dial for the first time. In 1984, IWC created the Portofino collection. The family was named after the idyllic village on the Italian coast, which became an exclusive holiday destination for the international jet-set during the 1950s and 1960s. Since that day, Portofino watches have successfully combined the ease of the Mediterranean lifestyle with a touch of glamour and elegance. The Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase pays homage to the first Portofino from 1984, which also featured a moon phase display. Now, this coveted model is available in 18-carat 5N gold case with a silver-plated dial as well as gold-plated hands and solid gold appliqués for the first time. The exclusive timepiece is powered by the IWC-manufactured hand-wound 59800 calibre, which offers a power reserve of 8 days when fully wound. This simple yet elegant watch is fitted with a hand-painted blue alligator leather strap by the Italian shoe manufacturer Santoni.
