The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince”, stands as a captivating tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic literary masterpiece, The Little Prince. This exclusive edition showcases the signature deep blue dial, now emblematic of IWC’s special editions honoring the beloved tale.
Encased in a commanding 46-millimetre stainless steel case, this pilot’s watch is driven by the powerful IWC-manufactured 52110 calibre movement.

On the reverse, the watch reveals a special engraving of the Little Prince, depicted with his cape and sword—a poetic symbol of wonder and adventure.
