Iconic IWC Big Pilot 7 Days Automatic Mens Wristwatch in Stainless Steel.  Model Reference is IW500201.  This is the ‘original’ version of the IWC Big Pilot 7 Days that became one of the brand’s best-selling product starting from year 2002 and this particular specimen is in great shape.  IWC Big Pilot 7 Days was quite revolutionary when it debuted as few if any other manufacturers made a watch with 7 Days Power Reserve.  IWC only just developed caliber 5000 in year 2000 as their first in-house movement since the 1970-80s quartz era which served as the base movement for the 7 days power reserve caliber 5011 that serves as the workhorse timekeeper in this IWC Big Pilot Watch.  Since caliber 5011 is a massive 38mm in diameter, another revolutionary concept was applied to the IWC Big Pilot 7 Days which was the massive stainless steel case at 46.2mm when most of mens wristwatches in year 2002 were smaller than 37mm.  In many ways the IWC Big Pilot 7 Days was one of the iconic trailblazer watch designs that brought about the massive wristwatch trend of the modern era.  Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $11,200.
