IWC BIG PILOT "Le Petit Prince" IW500908 Blue Limited Edition 1000 Full Set

THE ICONIC PILOT'S WATCH

When IWC released their Big Pilot (reference 5002, now updated to reference 5009) in 2002 they were pioneers in the big watch game and they could hardly have known what legend they were creating. At 46mm it was a beast, an irresistible force. The deceptively simple design and concept is one that has been imitated, but never bettered. The Big Pilot makes a Big Statement, and over the years has attracted some big name wearers
