IWC Portofino Vintage Mens Thin Handwound Watch - 18K Gold

IWC

Item No. AB20

Today's offering showcases this renowned IWC Portofino mens watch.

Powering it is the company's impressive caliber 1002 movement, renowned for its workmanship and technical merit and adjusted to five positions.

Housing the fine movement is an elegant 18K gold case with long downturned lugs, marked with IWC's Probus Scafusia hallmark. Its classically simple dial and timeless case were crafted to be more subtly styled, yet not boring, designed for men who were confident in knowing they were wearing one of the superior timepieces in the world and didn't need to parade it.

It is a late vintage era thin Portofino with sapphire crystal.

We are very pleased to offer it in mint original condition, fully original down to the signed buckle. It has spent most of its life safely stored away and shows only light wear. Our servicing was the first performed since leaving the IWC factory.

One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it - its movement is pristine. We have timed it in five chronometer positions, and it is running strong and true. Photos of the inside available upon request.

For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a 90-day international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
