IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince' Only Watch

About this reference

The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Edition “Le Petit Prince” reference IW502704 is a unique piece manufactured in 2016 specifically for the Only Watch charity auction. This reference is distinguished by its 46.2mm case constructed from 18k red gold and a midnight blue sunray-brushed dial featuring an annual calendar complication. It houses the manufacture caliber 52850, which provides a seven-day power reserve. Collectors value this specific watch for its unique movement execution; the solid gold oscillating weight is sandblasted and shaped to depict the Little Prince standing on an asteroid. As a unique piece, it does not have a standard secondary market price range, though it sold at the 2016 Christie’s Only Watch auction for 38,000 CHF. It remains the only example of this reference ever produced, marking a significant entry in the brand’s partnership with the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation.
