Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince”
Ref.: IW501002
The IWC Big Pilot “Le Petit Prince” pairs serious engineering with a touch of charm. The 46.2mm case makes a statement, while the rich sunburst blue dial keeps it elegant and understated. Powered by a 7-day automatic movement, it’s built for the long haul. Details like the oversized crown and polished hands give it that classic pilot feel, but with a softer, more thoughtful edge. It’s confident, timeless, and just a little poetic.
