    A perfect day to give some wrist time to one of the greatest watches IWC ever
    made!

    Wow, never seen this model/edition before - didn't know it even existed. Is it
    from the 80's?

    Can you provide some info/quick summary about this edition, like what the
    designs on the dial represent?

    Thanks for showing it to us!

    Thanks a lot for rotating the picture.

    I am not sure how many Tourbillon Da Vinci "Leonardo" have been produced
    because I found 3 examples in White Gold which have been sold in auctions. And
    I think I have heard that there was a version in Red Gold too. Each allegedly
    produced in a series of 50 pieces. I wonder if IWC could shed some light here?

    But for sure it is a rare bird and I enjoy it a lot!

    Congratulation for a real rare piece and thank you to share it with us. The "
    Da Vinci" is for me one of the best icon of the brand and this model is one of
    the rarest ever seen.

    Thanks, Anthony. It's a big day for me even though I'm STL waiting. I've had
    my eye on it, and knew instantly since SIHH 2017 that that was the one. Will
    post pics once wound, set and on wrist!

    Congrats Belnor too! That'll be super special when it arrives!

    For the record, my message above was referring to Matthias' DaVinci. Not to
    say I have a limited supply of compliments to share around though - always
    happy to spread good cheer with IWC showcasing!
