Hallo!
I'm Italian and my english is very poor... but I understand it very well.
Today I've bought a IWV Portofino ref2009 in yellow gold.
It's fantastic!
someone know which is the caliber of this watch?
What is the last list price of this watch?
I took it in perfect condition with 1500euros
an example to understand which is my watch:
First, welcome and, second, congratulations!
Your reference 2009 was last in the 1993 catalog. However, it remained in IWC Dealers' Workbooks until the 1996-7 edition. You can get more information by searching the workbooks, which you can access byclicking here.
I believe that its base movement was the JLC ultra-thin calibre 839, and I don't have the old price lists with me (as I'm traveling now). But hopefully this helps.
Ref. 2009 in gold - 6 250 SFr (price from April 1993).
thank you very very much!
Luca, nice watch and very likely that Michael is correct with the movement!
You have yourself a good watch there...and at a good price (this forum is non commercial - so we don't do buy and sell notices, or links to "for sale" - but it's OK to comment on vintage watch pricing.
Best regards

A beautiful watch and great find.
Thanks for sharing this. One sat at a local dealer for a while and I was wondering what it was. Portofino ROmain ref 2009 !
thank you very much!

Your watch has 2 different dial?
Sehr seltsam!
NO... the second one is my real watch with real photos...
