BACKGROUND
This model was the first Da Vinci to be added as a flying Tourbillon.The "Quattro Statigioni" (four seasons) was produced between 1999 and2000 in a Limited Edition of 20 pieces. The 18K yellow gold dial was handengraved by renowned engraver Wolfgang Siegwart, displaying four allegoricalfigures each representing a season of the year. The four sprite-like figuresrepresent the cyclical death, birth, blossoming and gathering of the harvest.
The figure at one o'clock is Ceres representing summer, by holding a bundle ofwheat and a sickle. The figure at four o'clock is a Bacchante representing autumnand the success of the harvest, holding grapes and a wine glass. The figure atseven o'clock is Hestia representing winter, attending to the hearth by toilingover a hot stove. The final figure at ten o'clock is Flora representing spring,holding a cornucopia of blossoming flowers.
The first Da Vinci was introduced by IWC in 1970, later followed by theperpetual calendar in 1985; the first watch with a display that shows the yearin four digits. A year later, IWC created the first watch made with a ceramiczirconium oxide case through their Da Vinci line. In 1995 the Da Vinciperpetual chronograph was introduced with a rattrapante and in 1999 with aTourbillon as seen in the above model.
The watch is considered one of the most complicated timepieces ever created byIWC along the Grande Complication, the Destriero and Sidérale Scafusia.
