The IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic (ref. IW356504) is an automatic dress watch, with a 40mm 18 ct 5n gold case, 9.2mm thick, powered by the 35111 movement and a 50-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 30m. Manufacturer MSRP is $15,500.
Owners widely praise the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino for its clean, classic dress watch aesthetic and refined dial details, with many finding the 40mm size perfect for smaller wrists and noting its ability to provide a spark of joy. Some owners admire the dial color in sunlight and the versatility offered by changing straps. One owner notes its modified Sellita SW300/ETA 29xx movement is reliable and accurate, and another reports excellent timekeeping, with IWC reportedly maintaining chronometer standards. However, some find the Portofino overpriced and less valuable compared to watches with in-house movements. One owner reported their watch stopped working immediately after being dropped and required a lengthy repair. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the IWC Schaffhausen Portofino highly for its classical sophistication and understated elegance.
