What to know
The steel Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 Le Petit Prince places the anniversary collection’s blue sunray dial and gold-plated hands inside a smaller case. White Arabic numerals and luminous hands surround the vertical chronograph registers, with day and date grouped at three. The tinted sapphire back displays the Little Prince motif alongside the edition’s lettering.

Reference IW388120 measures 41 mm across and 14.5 mm thick. Automatic calibre 69385 runs at 4 Hz, uses column-wheel stopwatch control and stores 46 hours of reserve. Sapphire with anti-reflective treatment on both sides and 10-bar water resistance support everyday use. The blue rubber strap uses EasX-CHANGE, matching the larger 43 mm anniversary model’s practical setup.
