IWC Pilot's Watch UTC Antoine de Saint Exupéry IW3261-03; Limited Edition 18k Rose Gold Watch

Description

The IWC Pilot's Watch UTC Antoine De Saint Exupéry, reference IW3261-03, is an exceptional and rare pilot's watch that combines the rich aviation history of IWC with a tribute to one of the most inspiring figures of the twentieth century.

Investing in gold has never been this fun! This special edition is crafted from 18-carat rose gold (with a gross weight of no less than 166.8 grams!) and was produced in a limited edition of just 500 pieces worldwide. With a net gold weight of over 100 grams, you pay just a fraction above the gold value for this exclusive and beautiful watch. You can't buy smarter than this.

The watch is dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the famous French writer, journalist, and pilot known worldwide as the author of 'Le Petit Prince'. Besides his literary work, Saint-Exupéry was a passionate aviator who performed numerous airmail flights and became an icon in aviation history.

IWC has released several special editions in honor of his legacy, and this UTC version is among the most exclusive. This piece dates back to approximately 2008 to 2010 and is in very good and unpolished condition. Sure, we see some minor signs of wear, but we prefer to keep the watch in its original state.

The warm appearance of the 18-carat rose gold creates a beautiful contrast with the characteristic brown dial. The classic Arabic numerals, excellent readability, and functional design make it clear that this is a true IWC Pilot's Watch.

A special feature of this model is the practical UTC function. The separate timezone indicator allows for easy reading of a second timezone, a function originally developed with international travelers and pilots in mind. Thus, this watch combines technical functionality with a refined appearance.

Internally, the watch is powered by the high-quality IWC Calibre 30710 automatic movement. This reliable Swiss movement is known for its precise performance and solid construction. The movement runs excellently and accurately, perfectly matching the exclusive character.

The IWC leather strap is in good condition, just like the whole piece. The strap is beautifully finished and feels fantastic to wear. This high-quality strap features the original 18k rose gold pin buckle and fits up to approximately 21cm wrists. We also provide a matching new high-quality leather strap as an extra (brand Moratello/Hirsch in 22mm).
