DescriptionThe IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Le Petit Prince Ref. IW329502 is a testament to the harmonious blend of literary inspiration and advanced horological innovation. Encased in 18 ct Armor Gold®, a material known for its enhanced hardness and wear-resistance, this watch exudes a sense of luxury and durability. The 43.0 mm diameter of the case offers a commanding yet refined presence on the wrist, while the rich blue dial echoes the whimsical depth of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved story, "Le Petit Prince." This dial, adorned with luminescent elements, ensures legibility under all lighting conditions. The watch is complemented by a brown calfskin strap, adding a touch of elegance and comfort, perfect for daily wear or special occasions.

At the heart of this exquisite timepiece lies the 82905 Calibre, an IWC-manufactured movement renowned for its precision and longevity. This automatic, self-winding movement boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve, allowing it to keep time accurately over an extended period. The highlight of the IW329502 is its flying minute tourbillon, a feature that not only demonstrates IWC's mastery of complex watchmaking techniques but also adds an element of visual intrigue to the watch's face. The tourbillon, a device designed to counteract the effects of gravity on the movement, is showcased through the see-through sapphire glass back, allowing the wearer to admire the intricate workings of the mechanism. Additionally, the convex sapphire glass is treated with an anti-reflective coating and is designed to withstand changes in air pressure, ensuring the watch's functionality and durability in various environments. The IWC Big Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Le Petit Prince is a remarkable combination of storytelling, technical excellence, and aesthetic sophistication.
