IWC Portofino Automatic 40mm IW356517
The IWC Portofino Automatic 40mm (Ref. IW356517), a masterclass in mid-century Italian elegance that beautifully captures the laid-back, jet-set Riviera lifestyle. This timeless dress piece features a clean, silver-plated dial punctuated by an incredibly warm contrast of rose-gold-toned leaf hands, stick indices, and stylized Roman numerals. Retaining the collection’s legendary pocket-watch-derived legacy, the 40mm stainless steel case boasts completely round, mirror-polished flanks and slender, teardrop-shaped lugs that drop down sharply to hug the wrist perfectly. Sitting at an ultra-low profile of just 9.2mm thick, it slides completely effortlessly under any tightly buttoned shirt cuff.
Beneath the solid caseback lies the robust, bidirectional self-winding Caliber 35111 automatic movement, equipped with a central hacking seconds feature for exact millisecond time synchronization. For added utility, a precision-machined stepped date frame is seamlessly cut into the dial plane at 3 o'clock, maintaining the smooth, flowing architecture of the face. Presented in polished condition, this refined timekeeper delivers immense, high-end presence with a completely clean and unpretentious character.
The watch comes mounted on an elegant black leather strap and is accompanied by an additional brown leather strap, allowing you to seamlessly swap styles between formal black-tie and casual attire. This highly versatile, complete collector's set is meticulously preserved and comes ready for its next owner with the inner and outer boxes, booklets, and original warranty card included.
