Dear Collectors and friends of IWC,
please see the new Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Edition 2011 in 18-carat red gold limited to 250 pieces.
As it`s predecessors this special edition with its characteristic black/sand beige dial is packed with outstanding technical features, among them the IWC-manufactured 51614 calibre with Pellaton winding and seven-day power reserve, as well as a perpetual calendar with a four-digit year display.
Beautiful! The matching of the colour of the rose gold case with the numbers is very befitting, stimmungsvoll (atmospheric?).
At a certain point in time IWC should make a book on all the Big Pilot Perpetual Calendars produced, it would be interesting to compare all these versions.
Kind regards,
Paul
For those with deeper pockets than myself, what's the reference number?
This is a fantastic watch, but it will have to grace some other persons wrist.
SC ?
Great watch!!!!
Interesting - another red gold BPPC.
I like Paul's choice of adjectives - 'atmospheric'. The last few BPPCs and BPs seems to me quite "atmospheric" in design, esp the Bucherer one.
Shing, sounds like it is about time to go shopping... again! :-)
I know you will surprise us, won't you?
I like most versions of the BP PC. The red arrows on the sundial hands is a great design feature on this version. But, overall this one is not for me. I look forward to additional BP versions in 2012. good times are coming soon.
I'm with Bill, not for me, waiting for the new BPs.

I am quite sure the mainlanders would love this one. Nice watch!
I'm also with Bill, not for me, waiting for the new BPs.

Hi Kelvin, how are things ?
well, red gold has never done well with me - the 8 days is one grand exception ... but we'll see.
having mulled over Big Pilots, I still don't love one enough yet, although with 2012 who knows. the closest is a 5002 actually.
I do have a IWC surprise coming up - but don't hold your breath, its going to take quite a while, going into 2012. non-IWC 'surprises' could be earlier. availability and pricing leave little choices, but for now its a pleasant problem.
This one match Jun Jun's hair best. I need to talk to her soon. :)
Cheers,
SC

SC, better have a word quickly with Jun Jun to see if she wants one, believe Tracy is already on the way to his AD!
No doubt about it - this is a handsome watch !
Very similar features to the LE they produced for that Parisian AD.
Best regards
Mark
SC, I am 100% supportive of Jun Jun's decisions here - she has impeccable tastes!
Best regards
Mark
Word! Jun Jun knows IWC's!
Great watch, but I like the Perpetual Calendar Portugese more.
