IWC Portofino Moonphase 46mm IW544801 Stainless Steel
Launched in 1984, the IWC Portofino is perhaps the brand’s most elegant and traditional wristwatch thanks to its decades of serving as the brand’s flagship dress watch collection. While hundreds of variants have been launched over those decades, the reference we have here, the ref. IW544801 is perhaps one of the most modernized thanks to its 46mm stainless steel construction. Offering a modern profile on the wrist, its 46mm diameter boasts a rounded bezel profile and short lugs that ensure the ref. IW544801 wears with a sense of elegance and poise that is more expected from a smaller watch. Boasting a black dial with a sunken seconds subdial at 6 o’clock and a moonphase at 12 o’clock, the ref. IW544801 is decidedly understated and classical, as per the Portofino’s roots as a classical dress watch.

Boasting a black dial with a sunken seconds subdial at 6 o’clock and a moonphase at 12 o’clock and white Roman numerals, the ref. IW544801's display feeds into the Portofino’s roots as a classical dress watch.
THE CONSTRUCTION While a large watch at 46mm in diameter, the IW544801's relatively thin bezel, short lugs and light stainless steel case allow it wear smaller than one might expect due to its measurements.
