MasterHello Kollnik,
There have been so many 'special & limited editions' for the Big Pilot, I'm not sure that even IWC has a comprehensive listing.
Some of the versions have been made exclusively for retailers and were never part of the IWC line-up.
Just off the top of my head, there are at least TEN (10) variations of the BP in either in-line models, AD exclusives, Boutique Exclusives. etc........
Someone may have all this information compiled and I too would be very interested to see it!
Good luck :-)

Hi guys,
Would you believe that there are at least 24 different models (not counting the original from the 1940s)?
One person has compiled them here:

MasterDon't see the St. Exupéry (IW500422) which is very sharp! IMO: Even more classic then the classic 5002.

Great St. Ex pieces SC!
I would love to see a St Ex varian with blued hands. Not sure why our friends at Schaffhausen are so enamored with shiney SS hands as the standard?
Cheers from Isobars.

Excellent photos and information. I don't see the Blue dial and blue strap Platinum version from 3-4 years ago.

Hi Kevin,
I believe the Blue dial Pt version dates back a lot longer than that. I first saw that watch at the IWC factory in 2002.
Best!

The blue dial platinum was introduced in 2002 and was one of the original variations of Ref. 5002. The above published listing didn't show all metal variations.

Nad & Michael,
Thanks for updating my information. Time flies when you are having fun. Do either of you know when production stopped?
Thanks again

MasterIts amazing that not even Franz can keep up with his website on the stunning evolution of all of the IWC models.
Has someone (like Franz does for the Pilot watches) done or doing the same for the other IWC families. As Nad hints - even IWC dont always have a fullly comprehensive listing in the past - although I understand that in the more recent present this has been dealt with.
