What to know

The Pilot’s Watch Automatic 36 Le Petit Prince compresses IWC’s instrument-style display into a 36 mm steel case. Its blue sunray dial combines white Arabic numerals with gold-plated luminous hands, while the absence of a date leaves the face uninterrupted. A Little Prince engraving decorates the solid steel back.

Reference IW458802 uses IWC-manufactured automatic calibre 32102 with a 120-hour reserve, giving the compact watch the same five-day autonomy as the larger anniversary Mark XX models. The case measures 9.9 mm thick and is rated to 10 bar. Convex sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects the dial. A blue calfskin strap closes with a steel pin buckle.
