Notes
Launched in 1985, the Da Vinci was launched introducing the perpetual calendar chronograph. While the huge majority was made under reference 3750, a very select pieces were made in with either black or white ceramic and gold cases (reference 3755) only during 2 years. Purchased in 1987 by the current owner at a cost of DM 19'800, it has been maintained in excellent original condition complete with all its accessories.
