IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 New Models (Ref. IW459008, IW459009, IW459010 and IW459011)

Posted on by

IWC has updated the Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 (Ref. 4590). This popular watch is now also available with a silver-plated dial instead of a mother-of-pearl dial, making it blend even more harmoniously with the overall image of the Portofino family.
