About this watch

Equally famous for his beautiful writing as he is for his extraordinary pilot's career, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a legendary early twentieth century Frenchman and aristocrat. He disappeared in mysterious circumstances during a reconnaissance mission in 1944, but not before playing a vital role in both civilian and military aviation and penning several literary masterpieces, the most celebrated of which is “Le Petit Prince”. To pay homage to this great poet and humanist, IWC has made several commemorative special editions in his honour. This is a particularly fine limited edition based on the new Mark XVIII, with an engraving on the caseback of the little prince with his coat and sword.

This IWC has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition at our IWC certified service centre to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been checked against our records to ensure authenticity. All our watches have a 12-month warranty for your peace of mind.
