IWC Pilot Giorgio Latuada'

About this reference

The IWC Pilot’s Watch Reference 3242-002, often associated with the Giorgio Lattuada collection, was produced in the mid-1990s as a limited series of approximately 100 units. Collectors prioritize this reference for its 36mm matte titanium case and integrated titanium bracelet, a material choice that distinguishes it from the standard steel Mark XII models of the era. It utilizes the Calibre 884/2, a movement based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 889/2 thin automatic caliber. The dial features a matte black finish with tritium luminous markers and a date window at three o'clock. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands prices between $8,000 and $12,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. A notable production detail is its specific designation for the Italian market, making it one of the rarest iterations of the Mark XII lineage due to its low production volume and specialized metal construction.
