IWC IW327004 Pilot Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince SS Blue Dial

The IWC Pilot Watch Mark XVIII Le Petit Prince reference IW327004 stands as a modern tribute to an iconic aviation lineage. Released as part of the esteemed "Le Petit Prince" editions, this reference spotlights the celebrated blue sunburst dial, a signature hallmark for collectors drawn to IWC’s tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupery's legendary novella. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with classic proportions and a robust construction, the Mark XVIII features a precise automatic movement—caliber 35111—offering reliable performance worthy of professional pilots and passionate enthusiasts alike. Its clean, highly legible dial is accentuated by luminous hands and indices, ensuring excellent readability under all conditions. While most commonly seen on brown Santoni leather straps, this reference is notable and coveted when found on a matching factory stainless steel bracelet, enhancing both its versatility and appeal. The watch is water-resistant up to 60 meters, securing its practicality for daily wear. Revered for its purity of design and connection to IWC's storied pilot heritage, the IW327004 continues to be a connoisseur’s choice, uniting technical exactitude with a distinctly poetic aesthetic.
