Antione de Saint-Exupéry was not only a writer, but also a pilot and an adventurer. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s book has become a classic and is read all over the world, in many languages. I don’t know if you ever read the book Le Petit Prince, or translated The Little Prince – if you haven’t, please do yourself a favor and read it – but it was not only a great book to read, it was also food for thought.
Whether it’s an argument to acquire one or not, these charity editions usually keep their value much better then the normal editions, on the second hand market. A unique version in platinum of the Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar “Le Petit Prince” was auctioned in support of the Antoine de Saint-Exupery Foundation, for 173,000 Swiss Francs!
