IWC Big Pilot Antoine de Saint Exupéry'

About this reference

The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Antoine de Saint Exupéry” reference IW502709 was released in 2016 as a limited edition of 250 pieces and is no longer in production. 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.
