IW3750 vs IW3754

Hi all,

I'm currently in the market for a perpetual calendar, preferably rose gold. I had considered a newer Portuguese model (IW5023-02, IW5023-06 or IW5033-02), but I'm now rather taken with the older 'original' Da Vinci perpetual calendars (3750 series) as they have a bit more authenticity and meaning in terms of watchmaking history.

From a collector's standpoint, which is more likely to retain value - a yellow gold 3750 or a rose gold 3754 Ratrappante? Also, both of them have an ETA 7750 base caliber, while the newer perpetuals (5023/5033) use an in-house movement. Would love to hear your views!

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil
It is impossible to estimate which will retain value better.
The best advice is the buy the one you like most. This one will keep you happier longer.

That is the best value.

I tend to believe the rattrapante will be more desirable down the road. And the 3754 can be found for a pretty decent price considering it is just a repeater away from a grand complication.
