The IWC Big Pilot IW500201 transition model is significant for several reasons.

First, it marks a pivotal moment in the history of IWC Schaffhausen, a Swiss luxury watch brand that has been producing timepieces since 1868. The watch was first introduced in 1940 for military use, and its oversized case and crown were designed to make it easy for pilots to operate while wearing gloves.

Second, the IW500201 model is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts because it was only produced for a limited period of time between 2006 and 2007. This makes it a rare and valuable timepiece that is difficult to find on the secondary market.

Finally, the IW500201 model is significant because it embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration that has always been central to the IWC brand. Whether worn by a pilot soaring through the clouds or a collector admiring its craftsmanship, this timepiece represents a connection to a rich history and a commitment to excellence that transcends time and place.

This timepiece has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history.
