IWC Da Vinci Rattrapante PC, Platinum.

A watch I owned and loved, which I stupidly let go, some 15 years ago. I had it with the silver dial, but the blue is not shabby, either. Credit picture: Christies. Best, Nicolas ...  

After a few whiskies they will look great! 🥃🥃

LOL!

😊 The lugs?

 
 By: MTR : December 3rd, 2021-11:34
Personally I don’t have any problems with these lugs. On the contrary: I think that they make the watch stand out significantly. Another advantage is that the watch sits very, very well on the wrist because the lugs are movable. Cheers 🥂 Thomas ...  

Yes, sure, I agree that this lug design makes this watch unique, and when I own it(YG) it felt very comfortable on the wrist just for exact same reason, however for me it didn’t worked out, but that’s purely a mater of taste(witch I clearly don’t have😜).

It definitely has a huge horological importance, not just from design point, but mechanically as well! A true grand complication! I admire the fact that IWC was able to transform a regular valjoux 7750, in this mega movement. Enjoy it and wear it in great... 

Hahahaha! Thanks a lot

Dear Zsolt, I admire and appreciate your taste, even it is not always the same as mine... ;-). Yes, IWC did an extremely well job in these times. Just look at their Minute Repeaters! Today they lost their way a little bit. I hope they will find their USP ... 

Thanks, Nico.

And I still can’t believe it, mon ami.

Yes. I am really lucky.

Really reaaaaallly cool!

Thanks a lot, mon ami!

if you say that, I am very happy, and your statement also carries a corresponding weight. 🙏😊 I was surprised myself how well the photos turned out (with my iPhone!). But I think you can hardly go wrong with this watch.

Yes, agreed.

A wonderful piece!

I was admiring one owned by a friend in Warsaw a couple of weeks ago. Yellow gold with white dial. Very nice indeed! All the best, Niall

This blue dial iteration is particularly appealing I fully agree

Even if the silver dial one wasn’t too shabby either for sure

+1!

Sure!

Beautiful, and a version that carried forward those fantastic articulated lugs.

The throwback peculiarity of shape and dimensions of these PCCs from IWC made them feel like one offs. Of course they were anything but. My humbler variant below: ...  

I like this first version very much!

Its case is 39mm, if I remember correctly. A classic. Best Thomas P.S.: And I am very happy to find one who likes these lugs, too. 😉

Hi. Yes 39mm.

I keep hearing that AP, PP and VC saved complicated watches through their good offices in the late 1970s to mid 1980s. I beg to differ. It was IWC, if we consider the manner in which this watch was received at Baselworld in 1985. The Valjoux 7750 was bein... 

Yessssssss….

I searched for this watch more than 15 years after stupidly selling my first generation in WG. And I am very happy with my 3754-07… Best Thomas ...  

Lucky you, my friend.

I love the lugs

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : December 3rd, 2021-02:46
They make this watch stand out. Beautiful piece.

Ok, I am not alone liking these lugs.
