IWCDa Vinci Chronograph

This IWC Da Vinci Chronograph is offered for auction without any major nicks or dents, positioning this within the seller’s ‘A’ condition grading.

The 43mm rose gold case is substantial and contains a blend of polished and brushed surfaces. Thanks to the twin register chronograph, the dial remains clean and symmetrical, indicating both the minutes and hours in a singular sub-dial. Attached to the case is a brown leather strap secured to the wrist by a matching rose gold deployant clasp. This iteration features IWC’s first-ever in-house chronograph, the calibre 89360, which benefits from a column wheel and vertical clutch system - giving the pushers crisp and positive actuation.

Somewhat of a cult favourite amongst IWC collectors, the Da Vinci line has been an important launching pad for some of the brand’s key innovations. Starting life in 1969 with a hexagonal case and quartz movement, the Da Vinci captured the world’s attention in the mid-1980s by introducing a perpetual calendar version, developed by Kurt Klaus. Released amid the quartz crisis, it helped put mechanical wristwatches back on the map.
