DescriptionThe IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase Ref. IW516401 stands as a testament to IWC's mastery in combining timeless design with sophisticated mechanical complexity. Encased in a sleek stainless steel body, the watch measures 45.0 mm in diameter and 13.1 mm in height, providing a bold yet balanced presence on the wrist. The case is complemented by a dark brown alligator leather strap crafted by Santoni, renowned for its exceptional quality and comfort. This strap, 22.0 mm wide, not only enhances the watch's visual appeal but also symbolizes the luxury and attention to detail inherent in every aspect of this timepiece. The see-through sapphire glass back offers a glimpse into the watch's intricate mechanics, adding an element of fascination for the wearer. Additionally, the watch's water resistance up to 3.0 bar ensures it can withstand the rigors of daily wear.

At the heart of this elegant timepiece is the IWC-manufactured 59800 Calibre, a manual-winding movement known for its reliability and longevity. Boasting an impressive 192-hour (8 days) power reserve, this movement ensures that the watch runs smoothly and accurately for an extended period without the need for winding. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 VPH (4 Hz) and comprising 232 components and 30 jewels, the movement reflects IWC's commitment to precision engineering, as evidenced by the beautiful Côtes de Genève decoration. The watch's moon phase display is a highlight, renowned for its precision, diverging from the actual lunar cycle by only one day in 577.5 years. This feature, coupled with a date display and a power reserve indicator, adds layers of functionality and artistry. The arched-edge sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures clarity and readability. The IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase Ref. IW516401 is more than just a watch; it's a celebration of horological art, perfect for those who appreciate the delicate balance between elegant design and mechanical excellence.
