Patek Philippe 6102P-001

Celestial, Moon Age

Wednesday, 27 June 2018

Look up. That's what the 6102P asks you to do. A rotating star chart tracks the night sky above Geneva in real time, while moon phase, moon orbit, and sidereal time rotate concentrically across a 44mm blue dial. It's the most poetic watch Patek makes — and possibly the most technically underappreciated.

Collector's Note

The Celestial is theatre on the wrist — a rotating star chart, moon orbit, and moon age display that turns the 44mm case into a miniature planetarium. It's the most emotionally affecting piece in the collection, and the one most likely to stop a stranger mid-sentence.
