Nicolas (amanico) initiates a compelling discussion comparing two significant IWC Da Vinci Rattrapante references: the 3751 and its successor, the 3754. His original post invites collectors to weigh in on which model, the classic or the more modern iteration, resonates most with their aesthetic preferences. This exploration delves into the subtle yet impactful design evolutions within a beloved IWC complication.
The dial is so much more refined, less cluttered in my view. Dirk
elegant. The newer version is very busy and a bit crowded and not as refined. My son owns the 3751 and it’s lovely. Just my two cents
The IWC Da Vinci Rattrapante ref. 3751 (approx. 1995-2000) and ref. 3754 (approx. 2000-2004) are both platinum or gold perpetual calendar split-second chronographs featuring the Kurt Klaus movement, but the 3754 is a slightly larger, updated evolution of the 3751 . The 3754 introduced a 41mm case (vs 39mm), sapphire crystal (vs plexiglass), and often features a blue lacquered dial. Key Differences: IWC 3751 vs. 3754 Case Size & Crystal: The Ref. 3751 has a 39mm case with a plexiglass crystal. Th
The first generation with the chrono (without Rattrapante) in WG and the second generation Rattrapante in platinum which is still in my collection. I personally prefer the second generation by far because of its excellent readability.
The second one is trying too hard….
But somehow, it is growing one me because it looks a bit outdated…. And for me, the older dial is more coherent with the look of the case, the lugs etc…
