[characteristic] The Portofino collection, Synonymous with classic elegance, Reflects a relaxed lifestyle. The Portofino story began in the late 1970s, When IWC recognized the constant demand for timeless, Classic models. This new watch line, Inspired by the elegant IWC Lépine pocket watch, Reference 5201, Was launched. The Portofino was first introduced in 1984, And since then, It has become one of IWC's most popular watch lines, Embodying understated elegance and refined taste. Crafted from elegant 18K rose gold, This watch measures 46mm in easy-to-read size. This is a rare oversized gold watch. The black dial features white Roman numerals and two second dials. The see-through caseback allows for a close-up view of the movement. The watch is fitted with an original alligator strap and an original IWC 18K rose gold buckle. Manual movements are a key advantage. The lack of internal components allows for a thinner watch, Making them more convenient to use. While the need to wind the mainspring every time can be a hassle, They are more durable than automatic and quartz movements. Quartz movements are prone to circuit failures and battery leaks after just 10 years, While automatics are subject to frequent idling, Making them more prone to wear and tear. In our shop, We occasionally see manual watches that are 40-50 years old, And while the exterior may be scratched, The internal movement is often shiny and pristine. Therefore, A watch with a classic appeal that can be passed down through generations is more likely to be a good match for a manual movement. This explains why manual movements are so prevalent in high-end classic watch lineups. This product has a moon phase function. The dictionary definition of moon phase is "the phase of the moon." The changing phases of the moon, Which orbits the Earth every 29.5 days, Are displayed on a separate indicator on the watch dial to show the changing phases of the moon each day. This is one of the functions mainly found on Portofino watches. In fact, Unless you're an astronomer, The word "moon phase" is probably more commonly known as an additional function for watches. In the past, Understanding the movement of the moon was necessary to determine the times of high and low tides, But in modern times, It is often installed for cosmetic purposes rather than functional purposes. Crafted from elegant rose gold, This black dial features a moon phase display, Allowing you to admire the changing shape of the moon each day. It feels as if the night sky is captured on the dial. We recommend this watch as an elegant and emotional dress watch.
