IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Anyone know when this piece is going to be released? Price?
IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar in Orange
"Last year, the brand presented their first IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar Watch created for the Swiss-based Bucherer network of luxury boutiques. Limited to only 100 pieces (70 in stainless steel and 30 in gold,) it was powered by IWC’s in-house Calibre 51613 automatic movement with Pellaton winding system, which is normally used in their Portuguese Perpetual Calendar watches. It is not clear, what chain of stores ordered this particular model, but here it is in all its orange glory.
Comparing photos of the original and this “second edition” version, it is visible that the only change from the first edition is the new color scheme of the dial and strap. While the first model (let’s call it Bucherer Edition for clarity) sported black dial with white luminescent substance on its hands, indices and numerals, as well as red markings accenting the tips of its arrow-pointed hands, the second edition is more into your face with its orange SuperLuminova covering hands, hour markers and the Arabic numerals on the main scale, and the letterings and numerals on the sub-dials printed in contrasting white. As far as I understand, this model will be limited to 250 examples, all of them in stainless steel."

No idea but I had the opportunity to see a Rose Gold BP in person and it was ABSOLUTELY stunning, and it was the first I had ever seen.
Love my Big Pilot so much. You need to pick one up Hani!
