IWC 18K Pink Gold Big Pilot's Antoine de Saint Exupery / IW500421

This watch has become near to impossible to find and is sold out all IWC dealers! The Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Antoine de Saint Exupéry completes the limited Pilot’s Watch collection which IWC has dedicated to the man who brought passion to his work both as poet and pilot. The series pays tribute to the author’s outstanding literary oeuvre. With its – by now characteristic – tobacco brown dial, initial “A” (for Antoine) at “9 o’clock”, and riveted calfskin strap, this immensely popular watch is recognizable at a glance to connoisseurs and collectors as an exclusive “Saint Ex”. It is also the largest Pilot’s Watch from Schaffhausen and requires a case measuring 46 millimetres in diameter to house the IWC-manufactured 51111 calibre with Pellaton automatic winding and 7-day power reserve. The back of the case is embellished with an engraving depicting Saint-Exupéry as a military pilot. Box & Cert Dated JUNE 2010. Watch mint condition, unpolished.
