Collectors prioritize this reference for its 37mm stainless steel \"Tre Tacche\" case, characterized by a three-notch screw-down caseback that provided enhanced water resistance for the period. It houses the manual-wind caliber 13ZN, a movement featuring an integrated flyback complication that allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single pusher press. The dial typically features a two-register layout with a peripheral tachymeter or telemeter scale. Due to the combination of the oversized steel case and the technically significant movement, secondary market prices generally range from $40,000 to over $100,000 depending on condition and dial configuration. A notable production detail is the use of stepped bezels on certain 5009 examples, which significantly impacts valuation at international auctions where well-preserved specimens frequently exceed initial estimates.", "score": 199}, {"slug": "iwc-iw500912", "brand": "IWC", "ref": "IW500912", "model": "Big Pilot Le Petit Prince'", "case_material": "Stainless Steel", "provenance": "extracted_from_auction_comps", "url": "https://mostexpensivewatches.net/reference/iwc-iw500912", "description": "The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince” reference IW500912 was introduced in 2016 as a successor to the IW500908 and remained in production until approximately 2021. This reference is distinguished by its 46mm stainless steel case and a midnight blue sunray-brushed dial featuring stylized Arabic numerals and a power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock. It houses the IWC-manufactured caliber 51111, an automatic movement providing a seven-day power reserve via a Pellaton winding system. Collectors prioritize this specific reference for its updated dial layout, which moved the \"9\" numeral back into place compared to previous iterations. The case back features an engraving of the Little Prince character. On the secondary market, this model typically trades between $7,500 and $10,500 depending on condition and accessories. While not a limited edition, its production run preceded the downsized 43mm series, maintaining its status as a traditional oversized Big Pilot.", "score": 84}]}
