The inspiration of Portofino is derived from the IWC 5251 watch. Portofino was launched in 1984, it did not follow popular trend at all. It possessed case with 46 mm and was well-received. Portofino Manual Winding 8 Days inherited its fine tradition that was created in 25 years ago.
 
The first Portofino was launched ceremoniously in 1984, it was popular around the world for its elegance and precise mechanical technology. Whether in the past or now, this watch is still a perfect masterpiece in the eyes of connoisseurs. Especially the brand new flagship product of Portofino centainly would attract lots of people who are full of enthusiasm about complicated and practical horological technology. Its elegant and circular case was equipoped with IWC home-made new 59210 movement: though it was designed and made by nowaday the most advanced technology, it still inherited Schaffhausen's great watchmaking tradition.
