The IWC Schaffhausen Iw359002 Portofino Complete Calendar is praised for its elegant dial presentation of calendar functions, featuring a balanced layout with leaf hands and a slim bezel, and its gold accents are noted. Owners and reviewers highlight the fully polished 41mm case, though its 11.8mm thickness, attributed to modular movement construction, is a point of contention for some, with one owner finding it noticeable. The truncated Roman numerals at 6 and 12 o'clock are a divisive feature, with some finding them bothersome and the range of fonts on the dial to be terrible. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the IWC Schaffhausen Iw359002 Portofino Complete Calendar for its elegant calendar display and case finishing, despite some reservations about its thickness and dial design elements.
