IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days IW510102 - 2022
IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days IW510102
Released in 2011, this hand wound version of the Portofino strikes a wonderful balance of daily casual watch and dress piece, with its steel case, 8 day movement and stunning looks reminiscent of the original Portofino with it's pocket watch with lugs aesthetic.
The case measures in at 45mm, necessitated by the use of the pocket watch style calibre 59210 and its monstrous power reserve, though only 12mm thick. The dial is a deep black, with hand applied polished indices, sub-seconds at 6, power reserve indicator at 9 and well integrated date window at 3. It's topped with lovely polished feuille-style hands.
But the real star of the show is on the reverse…flip it over, and you’re greeted with a gorgeous pocket watch inspired calibre 59210. Nicely finished, and stunning to look at, it is also technically capable with a free-sprung oversized balance, and Breguet overcoil hairspring. It is a pleasure to wind, and we love that it totally fills the caseback.
Finishing it off is a beautifully bolstered IWC Santoni 'gator strap with IWC tang buckle.
This particular piece was first sold in 2022 and presents in TZ 'Excellent' condition. The case is extremely clean, with only very minor swirls and hairlines present on the polished surfaces to the naked eye. The anti-reflective coating has a small mark around near 10, only visible in certain lights. Please see images for full condition details.
The strap shows some wear where it has been secured by the tang buckle, typical of a 'gator and tang combination, but the rest is in lovely condition.
Currently keeping time at around +13 seconds a day at 290+ degrees of amplitude. Remains under extended IWC warranty until 2030.
Comes with outer box, inner box. manuals, IWC cleaning cloth and warranty card dated 2022.
A lovely example with lots of warranty still remaining.
