This reference is distinguished by its 46.2mm case constructed from 18k white gold and a tobacco brown sunray-brushed dial featuring an annual calendar complication that displays the month, date, and day in three separate windows. It is powered by the IWC-manufactured caliber 52850, an automatic movement with a seven-day power reserve and a solid 18k gold rotor shaped like a Lockheed P-38 Lightning. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $22,000 and $30,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. A notable production detail is the sapphire case back which showcases the specialized rotor, a design specific to the Saint Exupéry series within the Big Pilot line."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 1, "median": 11600.0, "low": 11600.0, "high": 11600.0, "brands": 1, "merchants": 1}, "listings": [{"id": "h_6894016921675", "title": "IWC IWC Big Pilot Spitfire Annual Calendar IW5027-02", "brand": "IWC", "model": "IWC Big Pilot Spitfire Annual Calendar IW5027-02", "reference": "IW5027", "price_usd": 11600.0, "currency": "USD", "condition": "excellent", "box_papers": "full_set", "year": null, "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "case_size_mm": 40.0, "movement": "Automatic", "complications": ["Annual Calendar"], "merchant_slug": "hodinkee", "merchant_name": "Hodinkee Shop", "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0146/0732/products/IWC-Big-Pilot-Spitfire-IW5027-02-10-10-IWC-1VC4QS-7893e2db5bf4.jpg?v=1710687346", "detail_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/listing/h_6894016921675", "buy_url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/out/h_6894016921675", "available": false}], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "iwc-iw502709-2018", "brand": "IWC", "reference": "IW502709", "model": "Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Edition 'Antoine de Saint Exupéry'", "case_material": "18k White Gold", "hammer_usd": 30800, "year_sold": 2018, "venue": "Sotheby's Geneva", "lot_summary": "A unique white gold annual calendar piece with a tobacco brown dial and a rotor shaped like a Lockheed P-38 Lightning; sold for charity.", "source_url": "https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-watches-ge1804/lot.154.html", "provenance": "ai_generated_grounded", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/auctions/iwc-iw502709-2018"}]}
