Overview
The IWC Da Vinci Automatic reference IW356601 represents the restrained, architecture-forward interpretation of IWC's long-running Da Vinci line. Housed in a 40.4 mm stainless steel case and dressed with a silver dial, it occupies the dress-watch tier of the collection with quiet confidence. Calibre 35111 provides the movement foundation, delivering reliable automatic winding in a slim, elegant package.
History
The Da Vinci name has been part of IWC's catalogue since the 1960s, evolving through several distinct design generations. The 2017 relaunch brought the line back to a cleaner, more symmetrical case language after the more elaborate tonneau-shaped iterations of earlier decades. Reference IW356601 was produced within this modern chapter, remaining in the catalogue until approximately 2021. Its relatively focused production window makes it a representative example of IWC's mid-2010s design philosophy applied to a classic dress context.
Notable points

- Calibre 35111 is an in-house automatic movement developed for the revived Da Vinci family.
- The 2017 Da Vinci relaunch marked a significant departure from the curved, tonneau-influenced cases of earlier references.
- As a dress watch, the IW356601 pairs formal attire with IWC's engineering heritage without overt complication.
