IWC - Portofino Complete Calendar IW3590

IWV introduced the new Portofino Complete Calendar 3590 in steel IW359001 and rose gold IW359002. Price €10,900 and €21,100

IWC enriches its range of calendar watches with the new Portofino Complete Calendar which adds to the recently launched Portofino Perpetual Calendar introduced last November.

Presented in stainless steel (IW359001) or 18 carat 5N rose gold (IW359002), this is the first timepiece to feature a new complete calendar module developed by the Schaffhausen-based brand.

The complete calendar shows the date, day of the week, month and moon phase in two subdials and only needs to be manually adjusted at the end of a month which has less than 31 days via the crown. 

Framed by the classic lines of the 41 mm x 11.8 mm case, the silver-plated dial with applied indices and gold-plated hands display all the calendar indications by means of two vertically arranged subdials that show day of the week and moon phase at 12 o'clock  and date and month at 6 o'clock.

Each display is driven by a separate gear train and can be adjusted independently of the others via the crown or using two two correction buttons integrated into the side of the case. 

Consisting of 69 individual parts, the calendar module is mounted on top of the IWC-manufactured 32150 calibre, a reliable automatic movement beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offering a power reserve of 72 hours. The movement and its openworked gold rotor are visible through the sapphire crystal porthole of the caseback.

The soft calfskin straps, blue for the steel version and taupe for the gold one, are made of traceable Swiss calf leather.

Available as of April 2023, the IWC Portofino Complete Calendar IW359001 in stainless steel has a price of Euro 10,900 / US$ 10,800 while the rose gold version ref. IW359002 retails at Euro 21,100 / US$ 20,400. iwc.com
