Thanks Bill, but you might have missed that I posted 'live' pix of this watch from my recent GVA visit, here on the Forum, as well as on the IWC FB page!
It's spectacular and a price point to match, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

It's my age. I do remember now. I just saw this posed by IWC on FB today and duplicated your scoop.
Thanks for your live pictures. The ST EX BP is indeed an impressive IWC.

The St Ex version of this watch is yet another fine variation on the theme. I like all the different editions of this perpetual / Big Pilot combo. But I know I am partial to this one which is still number one to me.

Alan, I must stand with your line here ....I too, liked your BP PPC design even more than the ADSE version (somehow the brownish tints dont do it for me....). Your watch and the BLUE Pilot would both be more than welcome in my collection :~)

Its great to see the St Exupery family live on and grow in such a beautiful way.....I remember Georges Kern jestfully saying at the SIHH that he wished that the great man wrote more books so that IWC could keep the tradition alive "book and special limited edition IWC".
Its great that more books were not needed to keep this tradition alive.....
This really is another beautiful example and Nad - you're so lucky to already see it and already have wrist shots......

david r. Wrote:Personally, I do not know why a P-38 - a heavy fighter aircraft of WW II and in which he died- was chosen to be used for this watch.
St. Exupéry flew this aircraft, that's a given. But wouldn't it have been much nicer to use a civil plane of the time when he was not involved in the dark times of World War II and that has also no connection to his death?

Actually, I would prefer that the regular and St. Exupery Big Pilot perpetual watches just had a simple "N" & "S" indicator rather than the aircraft icons. There is quite a bit of information on the dials and the aircraft icons aren't really necessary. That being said, at least the P-38 has some historical significance with St. Exupery.

I guess I've never been a fan of those small airplane silhouettes of either type of aircraft, but in reality it would not stop me from getting one of these watches. It total, they are great looking. The brown dial, gold case is really 'rich' looking. Nelson
