Additional Information
The Big Pilot's Watch Edition Antoine de Saint Exupéry completes the limited Pilot's Watch collection, which IWC has now dedicated four times to the man who brought passion to his work both as poet and pilot. In a break with the past, this edition is not dedicated to any particular work but to the author's entire literary œuvre. With its by now characteristic tobacco brown dial, initial 'A' (for Antoine) adjacent to the 9 marker, and riveted calfskin strap, this immensely popular watch is recognizable at a glance to connoisseurs and collectors as an exclusive 'Saint-Ex'. It is also the largest pilot's watch from Schaffhausen and requires a case measuring 46 millimeters in diameter to house the IWC-manufactured 51111 calibre with automatic Pellaton winding and seven-day power reserve. The back of the case comes with an engraving depicting Saint-Exupéry as a military pilot. Together, the 1149 watches in stainless steel, 500 in rose gold, 250 in white gold and a unique piece in platinum, which will be sold to the highest bidder, add up to 1900, the year of the author's birth. The watch is accompanied by Nathalie Des Vallière's biography 'L'archange et l'écrivain', produced in a special edition for IWC Schaffhausen.

Two Year Warranty
We sell luxury timepieces at considerably lower prices than the manufacturers list price. Gemnation is not
an Authorized IWC Watch Dealer and is not affiliated with IWC. Authorized dealers are not permitted
to discount or sell watches on the Internet. For this reason, we choose not to be authorized watch dealers
for many of the brands that we sell.
Since we are not authorized dealers for many of the watch manufacturers, we may be unable to ship the original
watch manufacturers warranty. In all cases, however, we provide a Two Year Gemnation Warranty (active from the
date of purchase).
Gemnation utilizes a full-time Swiss-trained watchmaker who is licensed and trained to repair every brand and
model of watch that we sell. If we can supply the original warranty we provide this information in the individual
watch description.
