Unique Le Petit Prince Perpetual Calendar sells for an amazing CHF 173,000!

Fantastic news Michael.

What a great cause. Congratulations to the team, the buyer, and A. de Saint-Exupery Youth Foundation.

That is pretty amazing. I wonder what expectations were before the auction?

Just a quick picture from the watch.

Arne. No wrist shot?

Unfortunately not. Not on my wrist.

Was hoping you were the lucky buyer....:-)

Does not surprise me as the LPP BP and the LPP 17 editions are beautifully designed pieces. Congratulations to the team that put these well thought out models together.

Big congrats to the buyer, the foundation and to IWC for providing the Platinum variation for auction.

BTW, anyone know if it came with a plaque ?

Fantastic result for the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation and the children who can fully benefit from the construction of a school with a library in Cambodia. Great job IWC.

I think there can't be a bigger pleasure than:
- owning a BP Petit Prince AND
- owning it in Platinum AND
- owning the 1 out of one piece AND
- knowing that with the money you paid for it a school in Cambodia will be constructed!

Congratulations to the buyer and at the same time thanks to him for supporting such a good cause.

You made my day! Knowing that many kids will benefit from it. Nothing is more satisfying than this....hey wait a minute...I think the owner would be on top of the world by now.

This is only good news, which we need more of these days. I'm so happy for the kids who will benefit, and congrats to the new owner. Nice gesture from IWC!

A remarkable achievement. The catalogue did not disclose an estimate. There were some spectacular prices paid for watches at that auction and there were some surprising watches that did not reach the reserve. It would be nice to think that Sotheby's passed on the premium to the charity.

What a great result for a good cause. Kudos to IWC for participating. I share Ralph's hope that Sotheby's was similarly generous.

Indeed a great boost to a wonderful cause. Many thanks to IWC for making this possible.

And of course to the new owner - for being so generous in helping a great charity.
