The Story Behind the Watch and Maker

IWC Schaffhausen introduced the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar in 2006, marrying its iconic 46.2 mm Flieger design with Kurt Klaus’s famed perpetual calendar mechanism first seen in 1985 on the Da Vinci. Over 37 limited editions followed before the steel-and-blue-dial IW503605 became a standard-production marvel in 2021.

The brand’s legacy in pilot watches dates back to the 1930s, but adding the perpetual calendar elevated it to new heights of complication and craftsmanship. IWC’s commitment to precision engineering shines through in every detail.

Historical Facts

The inaugural perpetual-calendar Big Pilot (Ref. IW5026) was a 25-piece platinum run in 2006. Each subsequent limited edition tweaked case materials, dial hues, and moonphase displays until the permanent-collection steel IW503605 debuted in April 2021.

Fun fact: The perpetual calendar module is so ingenious that it accounts for leap years automatically until 2100, making it a true set-it-and-forget-it complication. Its development by Kurt Klaus revolutionized how we think about mechanical calendars in watches.

Production Details

Crafted from brushed stainless steel, the IW503605 houses IWC’s 52615 calibre. It boasts:

• A 46.2 mm case (15.4 mm thick) with oversized onion crown
• Blue sun-burst dial with rhodium-plated hands
• Perpetual calendar: day, date, month, four-digit year, double moonphase
• 7-day power reserve via twin barrels and ceramic Pellaton winding

Limited runs include ceramic, Ceratanium, gold, and green-dial IW503608 editions. Every piece is assembled with meticulous care in Schaffhausen, ensuring unmatched quality.

Scarcity and Exclusivity

Most Big Pilot Perpetual Calendars are limited editions. The steel-blue IW503605 is now standard, but ceramic “Top Gun” models and green IW503608 remain production-limited. These rarities make them highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

With demand outpacing supply, owning one feels like holding a piece of horological history. If you’re looking to sell, now’s the time to capitalize on their exclusivity.

Cultural Impact & Design Inspiration

Rooted in WWII “B-Uhr” pilot’s watches, its jumbo size is purposeful—ensuring maximum legibility in the cockpit. The perpetual calendar’s spread across four subdials uses the Big Pilot’s dial real estate to full effect.

In modern culture, it represents adventure and precision. Formula 1 stars like Lewis Hamilton have been associated with IWC pilot watches, highlighting their blend of performance and style. It’s not just a watch; it’s a statement.

Price Range

Used IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar references typically fetch USD 20,000–34,000 (AED 73,400–124,780). We guarantee to top any Dubai deal and pay up to 90% of the current average for watches in good condition.

Common Issues (We Buy It As-Is!)

• Light scratches on case or crystal
• Worn calfskin strap
• Slight dial patina
• Service intervals due

…we’ll still offer cash in quick for your timepiece. Our experts assess every detail, but we buy as-is, no questions asked.

Famous Owners & Movie Appearances

Celebrities in the racing world, like those tied to Mercedes-AMG Petronas, often sport IWC pieces, underscoring the brand’s motorsport heritage.
