IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Gold IW3750 - 2000

The IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar IW3750 is one of the Schaffhausen watch manufacturer's most iconic models and marks a decisive milestone in the history of watchmaking. Its story begins in the early 1980s, when the visionary IWC-watchmaker Kurt Klaus developed an innovative, mechanical perpetual calendar - a masterpiece that not only revolutionized the art of watchmaking, but also made the name IWC name firmly anchored in haute horlogerie.

In 1985, the first IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar was presented. This model was the first to combine a perpetual calendar with a chronograph function and an automatic movement. What was particularly impressive was that the calendar could be set entirely using the crown - a technical masterpiece that made handling considerably easier.

The design of the IW3750 was inspired by the aesthetic trends of the time: The characteristic hexagonal case and clean lines gave the watch a modern yet timeless look. The stainless steel case material of the IW3750 made this watch more accessible without compromising on quality and sophistication.

Technically, the model is a true marvel. The automatic movement is based on the proven Valjoux 7750 and was developed by IWC carefully refined. The calendar automatically takes into account leap years and months with different lengths and only needs to be corrected manually in the year 2100. The moon phase display impresses with its astronomical precision, with a deviation of just one day in 122 years.

The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar IW3750 quickly became a symbol of technical innovation and artistic excellence. It embodies the pursuit of IWC, to create exceptional watches that combine functionality and beauty in perfect harmony.

Today, the IW3750 enjoys cult status among collectors and lovers of fine watches. Its timeless design, technical complexity and historical significance make it one of the most sought-after watches from IWC.
