Catalogue Essay
Reference 5102, an astronomical wristwatch, displays the principle of the celestial canopy. It is interesting to note that the research and development for the celestial canopy took place at Patek Philippe when they were creating the Star Calibre 2000.
The dial displays the nocturnal sky of the northern hemisphere, which rotates to show the angular motion of the stars, moon and the progression of moon phases. The sky can be seen from all cities that share the same latitude as Geneva.
Manufactured in 2003, the watch has been kept in excellent overall condition.
