IWC IW544805 Vintage Collection Portofino Platinum Silver Dial LIMITED

This IWC Vintage Portofino reference IW544805, released around 2008 to commemorate IWC’s 140th anniversary, is a distinguished limited edition of just 500 pieces. Encased in luxurious 950 platinum, its 46 mm diameter and 11 mm thickness evoke the grandeur of classic pocket watches while maintaining elegant wrist presence. The manually wound in‑house calibre 98800 powers a refined moon‑phase complication at 12 o’clock—accurate to within one day every 122 years—and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, marrying technical excellence with timeless design. The silver dial, adorned with blue-painted Roman numerals and Breguet‑style hands, reflects IWC’s heritage of understated elegance. Its sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the three‑quarter plate and fine finishing, underscoring the manufacture’s craftsmanship. With a 46‑hour power reserve and water resistance to 30 m, this piece blends practicality with collector appeal. As a limited platinum edition, it holds significant rarity and historical weight within the Portofino lineage, making it a compelling acquisition for discerning connoisseurs.
