What is the IWC Portofino?

The IWC Portofino is IWC's round dress-watch collection, defined by a slim round case, a clean dial with applied indices. IWC launched the line in 1984 with the hand-wound moon phase Reference 5251 and named it after Portofino, a town on the Italian Riviera. Today the range covers three-hand automatics in 34, 37 and 40 mm, a Pointer Date, a Moon Phase, a Chronograph and calendar models, in stainless steel or gold, with silver or blue dials.

Which IWC Portofino size and movement should I choose?

Choose by case size first: Portofino references at La Maison Monaco run from 34 to 42 mm. The 40 mm IWC Portofino Automatic is the classic three-hand model with a date, from $7,600 in steel with 50 hours of power reserve. For a smaller wrist, the Automatic 34 starts at $7,800, the Day & Night 34 at $10,100, and the Automatic 37 runs for 120 hours. The Chronograph measures 42 mm, and the 41 mm Complete Calendar, with 72 hours, is $15,800. Every Portofino we list has an automatic movement.

Which complications does the IWC Portofino offer?

Beyond the three-hand Automatic, the IWC Portofino covers the most useful everyday complications. The 39 mm Pointer Date ($8,000) shows the date with a small pointer at 6 o'clock, the 40 mm Automatic Moon Phase starts at $10,800, and the 42 mm Chronograph, with 44 hours of power reserve, starts at $10,000. The Complete Calendar adds the day, month and moon phase for $15,800. At the top, the 40 mm Portofino Perpetual Calendar, with 60 hours of power reserve, runs from $36,900 to $58,700 CAD.

What is the difference between the IWC Portofino and the IWC Portugieser?

The IWC Portofino is smaller and more understated than the IWC Portugieser. At La Maison Monaco, Portofino references run from 34 to 42 mm and start at $7,600 CAD, while Portugieser references run from about 40 to 45 mm and start at $10,600 CAD. The IWC Portugieser dates to 1939, and the IWC Portofino was launched in 1984.

Can you swim with an IWC Portofino?

No. The IWC Portofino is a dress watch, rated to 3 bar (30 m) on the 40 mm Automatic and the Chronograph, and 5 bar (50 m) on the Day & Night 34, the Automatic 37 and the Complete Calendar. That covers rain and hand washing, not swimming or showering. Check the water resistance on each product page, and have the seals tested at each service.

Is La Maison Monaco an authorized IWC dealer, and is the Portofino under warranty?
