I very recently picked up this watch, and am very happy with it. It is one of 250 IWC Pilot St. Exupery models made in 18K white gold. The nice heft and brilliant shine of the gold make me very happy.

Here are some photos of the watch:

The box is large and quite nice. It came with a book to read about Mr. St. Exupery.

The hallmarks are in an interesting place.

Even though it is a large watch (44mm) it sits well on my 7.5" wrist.

The dial is an astounding tobacco sunburst. It really makes the watch!

The lume is really great as well.

Thanks for looking!

St Exupery was one of my favorite authors growing up. I'd love to pick one of these up some day.

Thanks everyone! I am thoroughly enjoying the watch. And to top of its good looks, the movement is quite a performer running at +1.5s/day!

Well I think all kids loved the little prince book, strange they waited so long to make an animation movie about it, went to see it with my 6 year old boy, he loved it

To the OP the watch is amazing, not a IWC fan usually but this one is really a beauty
