The Portofino Automatic Day & Night 34 is the first 34mm model within the IWC Portofino line to be equipped with a “Day & Night” display. It poetically indicates the alternation of day and night and the passage of time with sun and moon motifs, complemented by brilliant diamond settings that highlight its elegant and noble character.

The 34mm case is particularly suited for a slender wrist, with a thickness of just 8.9mm, offering a lightweight and exquisitely compact feel. The bezel is set with a total of 54 brilliant-cut round diamonds, each measuring 1.7mm. A special claw setting technique is used to maximize the angles of light entering the diamonds, enhancing their sparkle and fire.

The dial of this new model features a sunray brush finish, providing a softer, radiant texture. The slender hour markers harmonize with the elegant feuille (leaf-shaped) hands. Each hour marker is set with a single diamond, set to delight with every glance at the time. The day and night indicator at 6 o’clock is adorned with a gold moon and sun, completing one full rotation every 24 hours. It is especially noteworthy that the daytime sun is surrounded by sunbeam patterns, while the nighttime moon is set against a starry sky.

Powered by the IWC-manufactured 35180 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 50-hour power reserve, the watch boasts a 50-meter water resistance and comes on a soft and comfortable calfskin leather strap.

This model is offered in two versions:

The Stainless Steel version with a blue dial has an official price of  approximately 11,240 Euros.

The 18K 5N Red Gold version with a white/silver dial has an official price of approximately 19,685 Euros.
