The IWC Portofino (ref. IW3574-13) distills the relaxed elegance of Italy’s Ligurian coast into a compact 34mm stainless steel form. Its standout feature – a deep blue dial with a sunburst finish – offers rich tonal contrast while maintaining the refined minimalism emblematic of the Portofino line.

Housed in a polished round case, the watch is powered by IWC’s calibre 35100, a reliable automatic movement delivering a 42-hour power reserve. Slender hands and baton hour markers enhance legibility across the clean dial, while a slightly domed sapphire crystal lends vintage appeal. Although modest in size, the case design remains balanced and precise, with discreet lugs and a thin bezel that accentuate the wrist. Water-resistance is rated to 30m, in keeping with its dress-oriented intentions.

Suited for a smaller wrist or as an understated companion to formal wear, the IW3574-13 embodies IWC’s dedication to classic proportions and mechanical integrity. Among modern dress watches in the sub-35mm range, it offers both versatility and enduring design.
