In the faint blue night sky, a golden moon is present in the clouds, sometimes hovering over the stars, just like the quiet and warm night of Portofino.

Like the Roman numeral hour markers and leaf-shaped hands, the moon phase display is a typical characteristic of the IWC Portofino series. This design not only adds a literary atmosphere to mechanical art, but also aims to remind people that as early as before the appearance of mechanical timepieces, people recorded the passage of time through the looming moon. There is no change in the thousands of years of the moon's cycle of surplus and deficiency.
In the late 1970s, quartz watches became popular, and IWC designers observed that people were still passionate about reliable, classically designed mechanical watches. Born in a quartz storm, the Portofino watch is the most elegant witness to the mechanical watchmaking tradition with its most magnificent moon phases. In 1981, the designer Hano Burtscher was inspired by the IWC Lépine pocket watch (Model: 5201) and skillfully turned the dial of the pocket watch by 90 degrees. The new pocket watch (model: 5251) came out - 46 mm atmospheric case The small second hand suspended from the dial at the “9 o'clock” position continues Lépine's design philosophy of being “not subject to trends”. For the sake of visual balance, the “3 o'clock” position has added a magnificent display of the moon phase – pure gold created from the artistic treasures of Murano, the island of Venetian glass, this novel concept has also achieved “ The everlasting Portofino."
In 1984, the IWC officially launched the “Botao Fino” series with this 5251 watch as its flagship model, and it immediately shined. The name of the watch series originates from its place of publication - the beautiful port of Portofino. Since the 1960s, with the Italian film industry entering its heyday, the small town with a total area of only 2.6 square kilometers and a local population of less than 500 people has quickly become a gathering place for artists and world celebrities. The tranquil and pure, elegant and subtle atmosphere of life that is respected here is the style connotation that IWC gave to the Portofino watch. Today, the 5251 watch is still a timepiece treasure of collectors because of its clear layout, novel design and warm temperament.
