IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days Ref. 5101


The IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days Ref. 5101 is the flagship of the Portofino family. The centerpiece of the watch is a newly developed IWC-manufactured 59210-calibre movement which will run precisely and reliably for a full eight days before it automatically stops. The Movement incorporates a power reserve display, which is made viewable from the dial.


As expected for a watch with a long power reserve, it is fairly large with a 45 mm diameter case. It is available in Rose Gold or Stainless steel with a matching black or brown leather strap. Two dial color are available for the Rose Gold version, which is either slate or silver. The stainless steel version comes with either a silver, blue or black dial. 




About IWC. IWC or the the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" was founded by an American engineer from Boston, Florentine Ariosto Jones, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in the year 1868. IWC Schaffhausen is notable for being the only major Swiss watch factory located in eastern Switzerland, as the majority of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers are located in western Switzerland.
