**Description:** Up for sale is a true heavy-hitter in the world of pilot’s watches: the **IWC Big Pilot 5002-02 in Platinum**. For the uninitiated, the 5002 is the reference that relaunched the Big Pilot icon in 2002. While the steel version is a classic, this Reference 5002-02 is the rare, heavy-metal brother, limited to just 500 pieces worldwide (between black and blue dials). This watch features the legendary Caliber 5011 "Slow Beat" movement (18,000 vph). Collectors hunt for this specific low-beat movement because of the distinct, leisurely sweep of the seconds hand and the massive 7-day power reserve generated by the Pellaton winding system. Visually, it separates itself from the standard production models with a stunning deep blue dial that plays beautifully against the white gold hands and markers. It wears with the significant, authoritative heft that only platinum can provide. At 46mm, it commands presence, but the articulated lugs allow it to wear surprisingly well on average wrists. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of modern IWC history that combines the original "tool watch" DNA with the ultimate stealth-wealth material. **Condition:** Excellent. The platinum case remains sharp, and the crystal is clean. It comes mounted on the original strap with the matching platinum deployant clasp. **Includes:** * Watch only (No original box or warranty card). * Original IWC Strap and Platinum Deployant Clasp. * Authenticity verification papers from a reputable retailer. **Price:** **$17,500** \+ actual shipping costs. **Timestamp:** [here](https://preview.redd.it/wts-iwc-big-pilot-platinum-limited-edition-ref-5002-02-v0-ya3hfriny66g1.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a0bee4451aebd5d23502cda62ab94c9695627ccd) **Payment & Shipping:** Preferred payment via bank wire or Zelle. Alternate methods may be discussed with identity verification. I've got tons of references on multiple watch sites. I will ship fully insured via FedEx/UPS. I have plenty of references available and am happy to jump on a video call to show the watch. Thanks for looking!
