The "Le Petit Prince" special edition is a distinctive line within IWC’s Pilot’s Watch collection; featuring deep blue dials and engravings of the Little Prince on the case back (or rotor), these timepieces infuse the rugged aesthetic of pilot's watches with a touch of whimsical charm. While previously reserved for classic models such as the "Big Pilot," "Pilot’s Chronograph," and "Mark" series, the brand has expanded the line this year to include the Portofino collection (IW459806) for the first time. Simultaneously, the "Le Petit Prince" theme has been introduced to the entry-level Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36. This marks the first time an IWC "Le Petit Prince" special edition has been presented with a 36mm case diameter, offering a romantic yet practical timepiece perfectly suited for daily wear by those who prefer smaller watches.Super Clone Watches, Replica Watches On Sale - Clonesuperwatch.is.
The most notable breakthrough of this new model lies in its case size. As smaller watches have gained popularity in recent years, the "Le Petit Prince" special edition has moved away from being exclusively associated with large cases and complex complications. Its refined 36mm case aligns with current trends, while the minimalist three-hand, no-date dial offers an excellent entry point for female consumers. Visually, the Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36 "Le Petit Prince" (IW458802) bears a striking resemblance to the Mark XX "Le Petit Prince" Special Edition (IW328221), sharing features such as the deep blue sunray-finish dial, gold-plated hands, and a solid stainless steel case back.
However, this model is by no means a simple "scaled-down" version of the Mark XX: it features a dark blue calfskin strap and omits both the date window and the "MARK XX" lettering above the 6 o'clock position. Due to the change in dial size, the spacing of the markers has been adjusted accordingly—representing the most significant visual difference between the two. Turning the watch over reveals a stainless steel case back engraved with the "Little Prince" motif, housing the automatic Calibre 32102. This is a no-date variant of the brand's latest-generation 32000-series core movement; it operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a 120-hour (5-day) power reserve, and possesses magnetic resistance capabilities.
