About this piece
This 2021 IWC Pilot's Watch Mark XVIII Edition "Le Petit Prince" (ref. IW327016) pairs the Mark XVIII's no-nonsense pilot's-watch DNA with a dial that steals the show. Where the standard Mark XVIII wears black, this one wears a deep sunburst blue meant to evoke the night sky of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic tale — a detail that's made this "Le Petit Prince" edition one of the most sought-after variants of the model. The 40mm stainless steel case carries IWC's signature soft-iron inner case for anti-magnetic protection, a convex sapphire crystal with AR coating, and 60m of water resistance, all riding on the matching steel bracelet. Inside is IWC's automatic Caliber 35111 with a 42-hour power reserve. This example is in excellent, well-kept condition and comes complete with its original box and papers.

"A blue dial doesn't need a reason to be beautiful — but this one has one anyway, borrowed from a small prince who looked up at the same sky"
