The IWC Portofino collection has been synonymous with understated elegance and classic design since its first launch in 1984. The collection draws inspiration from IWC’s traditional dress watches and pocket watches from the 1940s and 1950s, Eliminating unnecessary decoration and emphasizing essential beauty and practicality. The collection is named after the luxurious resort of Portofino on the Italian Riviera, And captures a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere in the watches. Portofino is IWC’s best-seller and is considered to be a line that represents the brand’s elegance and tradition.
The IWC Portofino Automatic Moonphase IW459401 is the first model in the Portofino collection to feature a moonphase display in a 40 mm size. The stainless steel case, The silver dial with a subtle sheen, And the deep dark brown alligator leather strap combine to convey a sense of understated luxury and the leisurely sensibility of the Mediterranean.
The moon phase indicator at the 12 o’clock position precisely expresses the actual lunar cycle through a precisely calculated gear system. The slim gold-tone hands, Indexes, And Roman numerals elegantly blend together on the silver dial, And the convex sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides provides clear and transparent readability.
