Catalogue Essay
Reference 5102, first launched in 2002, is an astronomical wristwatch that displays the principle of the celestial canopy. The watch features one of the most fascinating horological complications produced by the company. The dial displays the nocturnal sky of the northern hemisphere and rotates to show the apparent angular motion of the stars and moon as well as the progression of moon phases. The sky can be seen from all cities that share the same latitude as Geneva.
The reference is now discontinued and subsequently replaced by reference 6102. This present watch is complete with original accessories.
