About This Watch

Pre-owned & mint. Comes with complete boxes, manual, tag, tools & dated paper.

This is a discontinued model of the Antoine de Saint Exupéry limited production model with a brown dial & matching brown Santoni leather strap. This is a premium model which features an in-house manufacture movement that has 68hrs power reserve and a flyback chronograph function, making it more expensive than the regular pilot chronograph that's equipped with a mass-produced Valjoux movement.

This is a one owner's watch from new purchased in Italy & comes with complete accessories. The watch has not been polished and presents in near mint condition, there are hardly any wear on the polished bezel or edges of the lugs that are always common areas for damage but virtually none on this watch. The original Santoni strap is in splendid condition which shows little wear as well while the steel buckle again, shows little signs of wear with near perfect factory brushed finish. Glass is of course perfect and even the back cover has little to fault. This is obviously a cherished example looking for a new owner and you will benefit well from it.

The back cover has an image of a WW2 Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane that was last flown by Antoine who would perished in it off the coast of Marseille, France.

A rare opportunity not to be missed and IWC discount is strictly controlled now to less than 20% from the dealers. Please click here for Live pics of the watch in our FB.
