The IWC Portofino (ref. IW357415) brings a vibrant modernity to one of the brand’s most understated dress collections, marrying a lush green dial with the warmth of 18ct red gold. At 34mm, the case offers a refined presence well suited to smaller wrists, while the minimalist dial layout preserves the line’s elegant restraint.

Powered by the self-winding calibre 35100, the watch runs at 28,800 vph and maintains a slim profile appropriate for formal wear. The case is crafted in polished red gold, with leaf-shaped hands and baton markers echoing classic Portofino design cues. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, and while water-resistance is minimal, at 30 metres, it aligns with expectations for a dress-oriented piece.

Ref. IW357415 stands out within the Portofino line for its unique combination of case metal and dial colour – a pairing that lends distinct presence without ostentation. It offers collectors a compact automatic in precious metal with the patina potential and visual warmth only red gold can provide.
