    Dear Forum,

    I wanted to garner opinion on the Big Pilot, Perpetual Calendar, Antoine De
    Saint-Exupery (IW503801). I personally think it a beautiful piece, but having
    come across many still new (in AD) pieces, I cannot help but wonder if I am
    missing something as to why this didn't get completely snapped up. I look to
    you my fellow enthusiasts to alay my fears so I go and buy it today!!
    collective responsibilty as it were.. Thoughts, Anecdotes, Personal Views all
    received with thanks.

    Best,

    Trevor

    Hi Trevor,

    That BP St Ex Perpetual is a beauty! If you love it, just go for it.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Trevor

    I love the Big Pilot St-Exupery editions with the special font. I have a
    feeling that the blue Petit Prince dials may be more desireable, however, than
    the brown dials. I think the brown dials do not show as well in the renderings
    in catalogs and online; you really have to see them in person to appreciate
    how beautiful they are. They also are not inexpensive and not limited. A
    combination of these factors may have contributed to slower sales, or the
    appearance of more product availabltity. Just my guess, but it is a phenomenal
    piece - I would be smitten to have it in my collection.
