Catalogue Essay
- With its pure, rounded case echoing vintage pocket watches, the Portofino line embodies IWC's less-is-more design ethos since the 1970s. This platinum ref. 3703 Amalfi chronograph fully captures that spirit of subtle taste.
- Produced exclusively in yellow gold or platinum, the lacquered white dial and absence of tachymeter evoke leisurely days along the Amalfi coast rather than racing pulses. Its evocative name calls to mind gentle breezes and cobalt blue waters viewed from the polished deck of a sailboat.
- Offered with its full original accessories and papers, this Portofino chronograph from circa 1999 provides the perfect escape to la dolce vita whenever one desires. Its understated elegance and well-preserved rare platinum case reflect the beauty found in simplicity, much like the iconic coastal views that inspired its creation.
