Description
The Portofino Perpetual Calendar features the legendary perpetual calendar developed by Kurt Klaus during the 1980s.
At 40 millimetres, the Portofino Perpetual Calendar is the smallest perpetual calendar in IWC’s portfolio. This version features stainless steel case, a silver-plated dial, and gold-plated hands and appliques, marking the first time the perpetual calendar is available in stainless steel in the Portofino collection. IWC’s legendary perpetual calendar was originally engineered during the 1980s by the brand’s former head-watchmaker, Kurt Klaus. The ingenious mechanism is mechanically programmed to recognize the different lengths of the months as well as the leap years. It will run without any adjustments until the year 2100. The calendar information is displayed in three subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Made of solid gold, the moon phase indication shows the moon against the backdrop of a star-studded night sky. Thanks to a special reduction gear train, it is so precise that it will only deviate by one day from the orbit of Earth’s satellite after 577.5 years. Through the transparent sapphire glass back, one can catch a glimpse of the IWC-manufactured 82650 calibre. Engineered with a focus on robustness and precision, this high-end automatic movement features IWC’s Pellaton winding system, which has been reinforced with ceramic components and builds up a power reserve of 60 hours. This exclusive timepiece is fitted with a blue calfskin strap with a butterfly clasp.

Watches bearing the IWC logo are characterized primarily by their high quality, which is guaranteed by the first-class materials used in their manufacture, as well as by experienced master watchmakers who pass on their craftsmanship from generation to generation. This is why IWC can boast complications such as minute repeaters, annual calendars, perpetual calendars and, of course, the king of all complications, the tourbillon.
In addition to high quality, customers also appreciate the unmistakable design that the brand has been patiently building since its inception. Each piece is different, yet they all have something in common. Something that unites them into one big IWC family. It is precisely this recognizability among dozens of other watches that is a huge asset that lovers of ticking machines often seek. Even today, 150 years after its inception, the models exude a respect for tradition skillfully combined with modern contemporary design.
As an organization with enormous international success, the International Watch Company applies a corporate philosophy that includes environmental responsibility and social commitment. It regularly supports foundations dedicated to protecting the environment and improving social conditions around the world. Examples include the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation. You can view the current range of watches either in our e-shop or at our Watch de Luxe Eurovea store.
