IWC Le Petit Prince Big Pilot’s Watch

IWC has recently unveiled a new addition to their Big Pilot's Watch collection, paying homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's famous novella, "Le Petit Prince" (The Little Prince). This latest edition features a 43mm-wide timepiece encased in 18-carat Armor Gold®.

The watch showcases a captivating sunray dial in a deep blue hue, complemented by 5N red gold-plated Arabic Numerals, hands, and a tourbillon complication. These functional elements are coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring readability even in low-light conditions.

On the caseback, you'll find the iconic Little Prince standing atop an asteroid, recreated from the novella's cover. The solid gold rotor also features the titular character. The watch is powered by the high-end 82905 Manufacture caliber, equipped with a Pellaton winding system and ceramic components, providing a power reserve of 80 hours.

Limited to 300 pieces, the Big Pilot's Watch 43 Tourbillon Le Petit Prince edition is priced at $72,200 USD and is available for inquiry through IWC.
