As a result, the Portofino line was born, and its distinct profile, being a 46mm dress watch in the early 1980s, made it unlike anything the industry has ever seen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular piece, a IWC Reference IW5251, features an expansive 46mm 18k yellow gold case with a gold winding crown. The white dial features printed ‘Roman’ indices, two recessed sub-registers, one serving as the moon phase display through a crescent aperture, and the other a small seconds display, as well as a matching ‘Breguet’ handset.
