When in production, even the standard examples of this piece unique retailed for 50% more than the Patek equivalents, ref 3970. The finishing of the ref 47112 pays testament to the RRP price differential but not to current pre owned prices luckily for the descerning collector of today! So for those looking for genuine quality & style that aren't caught up in the machine like hype of Patek, this could well be the ultimate perpetual chronograph. 'Piece Unique' refers to this being the only black dial version ever produced hence the designation of 1/1 on the hinged case back & the corroborating original paperwork.
1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.
We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.
With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.
The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.

Like the reintroduction of the Mini motorcar over a decade ago, this reinterpretation of Big Pilot by IWC is better than the original. This 1st series Platinum example is of course the top of the top.
