IWC IW356302 Portofino Automatic 18K Rose Gold White Dial

The IWC Portofino Automatic reference IW356302, introduced circa 2007, is a masterclass in elegant understatement crafted in 18‑karat rose gold. Its 39 mm case (46.5 mm lug‑to‑lug, 8.2 mm thick) presents a slender profile that drapes beautifully on the wrist, while the white dial with applied baton indices and feuille hands in matching gold exudes refined legibility and timeless charm. Powered by the self‑winding calibre 30110 (based on the Sellita SW300‑1), the movement offers a 42‑hour power reserve, 28,800 vph frequency, and a discreet date at 3 o’clock—hallmarks of reliable, daily‑wear performance. With only 30 m water resistance, this is quintessentially a dress piece, yet its solid gold construction and mechanical pedigree elevate it beyond mere formality. The Portofino lineage, conceived as a “pocket watch for the wrist,” brings a storied heritage of classical design and horological restraint. This particular reference, with its combination of precious metal, slender dimensions, and robust automatic movement, holds strong appeal among collectors seeking a luxurious yet unassuming daily companion. Its production run was never large, and the craftsmanship evident in both case and movement finish underscores its enduring collector relevance. Like New with IWC box and papers dated 2015.
