The IWC Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar Edition "Le Petit Prince" (Ref. IW502705) is a striking timepiece released in 2016 as part of IWC's Pilot's Watches collection. It features a robust 46.2 mm case crafted from 18-carat white gold, offering a luxurious yet solid presence on the wrist. The watch boasts a captivating blue dial, which complements the unique blued movement within. Powered by the IWC-manufactured 52850 calibre, this model includes an annual calendar function that displays the month, date, and day across three separate windows. The transparent caseback reveals an intricately decorated rotor, hand-painted with the image of the little prince standing on his asteroid, inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved tale. This artistic element is enhanced through an advanced chemical vapour deposition process that imbues the movement with its distinctive blue hue. The Big Pilot's Watch Annual Calendar "Le Petit Prince" combines technical sophistication with a touch of whimsy, making it notable both for its engineering and its storytelling elements.
