The IWC Reference IW3770-25 Grande Complication is an exceptionally intricate and imposing timepiece that represents the pinnacle of haute horology from the International Watch Company (IWC). As part of the legendary Da Vinci collection, this watch is revered for its masterful integration of complications within a robust yet elegant case.
Powered by the IWC Caliber 79091, this self-winding movement features an automatic chronograph, a perpetual calendar, and a minute repeater, making it one of the most complex and sophisticated watches ever produced by the brand. The perpetual calendar automatically accounts for leap years, while the minute repeater chimes the time on demand with remarkable acoustic clarity.
Aesthetically, the IW3770-25 Grande Complication embodies IWC's signature design language. The robust 42mm case—available in platinum, pink gold, or yellow gold—commands presence on the wrist while ensuring optimal legibility. The dial is thoughtfully arranged to present extensive information in a clear and balanced manner, featuring day, date, month, moon phase, and leap year indicators. With only a limited number produced each year, this timepiece is a true grail for serious collectors and a testament to IWC's expertise in crafting high-complication watches.
