The watch in question is a Big Pilot in solid 5N red gold with a midnight blue dial a la the Petit Prince line of pilots. It’s sort of a cross of this red gold Spitfire and the stainless steel Petit Prince Big Pilot, something that’s not offered in the standard lineup. The caseback is also engraved with a quote from The Little Prince: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.” The last bit of the package is a letter that Bradley Cooper will write to the winning bidder, adding a personal touch. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation, a charity that IWC has long supported.
Bidding for this watch opened online at $16,000 but quickly shot up. As of writing this, there are 10 total bids with the current winning bid sitting at $30,000, already the top end of the $20,000-$30,000 estimate. Bidding will continue online for another week, ending on March 4 at 11:00AM ET.
