Hello Kollnik,
There have been so many 'special & limited editions' for the Big Pilot, I'm not sure that even IWC has a comprehensive listing.
Some of the versions have been made exclusively for retailers and were never part of the IWC line-up.
Just off the top of my head, there are at least TEN (10) variations of the BP in either in-line models, AD exclusives, Boutique Exclusives. etc........
Someone may have all this information compiled and I too would be very interested to see it!

Great St. Ex pieces SC!
I would love to see a St Ex varian with blued hands. Not sure why our friends at Schaffhausen are so enamored with shiney SS hands as the standard? -- Cheers from Isobars.
I wonder if someone has the complete range of BP (models,colors,straps etc) in photos.
Thanks...
Best wishes and happy New Year !!

Would you believe that there are at least 24 different models (not counting the original from the 1940s)?
One person has compiled them here:

Hi Kevin,
I believe the Blue dial Pt version dates back a lot longer than that. I first saw that watch at the IWC factory in 2002.
Best!
Cheers,
Nad
