DescriptionThe IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince” Ref. IW501002 is a captivating blend of literary homage and exceptional watchmaking. This exquisite timepiece features a robust stainless steel case, measuring 46.2 mm in diameter, which gracefully houses its intricate mechanisms. The Deep Blue dial, inspired by the richly imaginative world of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Le Petit Prince", is both a nod to the literary classic and a testament to IWC's dedication to unique design narratives. The dial is adorned with luminescent hands and markers, ensuring legibility in various lighting conditions. Complementing the watch's striking face is a luxurious brown calfskin strap, which adds a touch of elegance and comfort, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear.

At the core of this watch lies the 52110 Calibre, an IWC-manufactured movement renowned for its reliability and precision. This automatic, self-winding mechanism boasts an impressive 168-hour power reserve, allowing it to function optimally for up to seven days without needing a wind. Additionally, the watch is equipped with IWC's Pellaton automatic winding system, enhancing its efficiency. Another noteworthy feature is the soft-iron inner case, which provides protection against magnetic fields, ensuring the movement's accuracy is maintained in different environments. The sapphire glass covering the dial is convex and treated with an anti-reflective coating, further enhancing the watch's readability while safeguarding it against air pressure changes. The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince” is not just a timepiece; it's a tribute to storytelling, artistry, and the enduring legacy of horological excellence.
