IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII “Le Petit Prince” | IW327016 | 2019 Full Set
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII “Le Petit Prince” (ref. IW327016) captures the timeless aviation DNA of the Mark series while paying tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved classic. This example is a full set in mint condition, featuring the signature radiant sunburst blue dial exclusive to the Le Petit Prince editions.
Housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case, the watch maintains the clean, functional lines inspired by cockpit instruments. The deep metallic blue dial reflects light beautifully, with bold white Arabic numerals, a date window at 3 o’clock, and luminous hands for optimal legibility.
Inside beats the IWC Caliber 35111 automatic movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW300, offering a 42-hour power reserve and housed within a soft-iron inner case for anti-magnetic protection — true to its pilot heritage.
Fitted on its original brown calfskin strap by Santoni, the watch exudes a perfect balance of sporty refinement. The sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on both sides, and the screw-down crown ensures 6 bar (60 m) water resistance.
Condition: Mint overall with only the most minimal signs of careful wear. Dial and crystal are flawless; case and buckle retain crisp edges.
Includes: Original inner and outer boxes, and warranty card dated 2019.
A quintessential everyday pilot’s watch — combining classic IWC functionality with the distinctive charm of the Le Petit Prince lineage.
