In advance of the upcoming Lunar New Year, which is set to take place at the end of January 2025, IWC has revealed its newest timepiece in the spirit of the Year of the Snake.
Similar to the Year of the Dragon edition from 2024, the latest festive timepiece follows suit with a burgundy and gold color palette. While the previous offering is a luscious reimagining on the Portugieser Chronograph, the Year of the Snake edition is based on the Portofino model complete with a moonphase complication.
In addition to the black leather strap, the Portofino Automatic Moon Phase 37 Year of the Snake edition also comes with a burgundy calfskin strap for a seamless look. Limited to 500 pieces, the timepiece is available via IWC with a price tag of $9,700 USD.
