Patek PhilippeCelestial

KEY FACTS

• This special grand complication reference represents a poetic and whimsical take on watchmaking 
• Highlighting Patek Philippe’s tradition of astronomical watches, the 6102P is the successor to the Celestial launched by the brand in 2002
• The 6102P introduces a date, but its exquisitely-detailed, four-tier dial remains identical to that of its predecessor, albeit with the addition of an elliptical-tipped date hand
• ​Finished in a deep, celestial blue, the dial is divided into four, sapphire crystal discs - the first indicates the the sky; the second, the phases and orbit of the moon; the third, the stars and Sirius, the brightest star in the solar system
• A final layer with N, S, E, W cardinal points helps indicate the portion of the sky visible from Geneva, Patek Philippe’s Swiss hometown
• A hand-stitched, deep blue alligator leather strap is paired with the watch, and adds an additional layer of thoughtfulness to its “slow wearing”, intergalactic personality
• Housed within the solid 44mm platinum case beats Patek Philippe’s highly-complicated Calibre 240 LU CL C, an automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve and an off-centre minor rotor fashioned from 22K yellow gold stamped with the Patek Philippe Calatrava
• The movement is controlled by two crowns positioned at 2 and 4 o’clock respectively
• Offered by a trade vendor in the United Kingdom
• The vendor advises that the watch was originally retailed in August 2022
• Presented with its Patek Philippe-branded lacquered wood display box, outer packaging, certificate of origin, booklets, Patek Philippe-branded leather document folder, and swing tag
• A spare blue leather strap and date adjustment tool are included with the lot
• Graded ‘AA’ by the vendor who reports the watch to be in unworn condition
