My friend Howard was invited to the Patek Philippe World Collection Preview Dinner, and his Jewelers arranged for him to not only sport a pair of Rose Gold Calatrava cuff-links but also this gorgeous Celestial.

Not only is it two-tone, Rose Gold and PT950 but it is definitely a piece to fly ‘under the radar’. The finishing of the movement is quite exquisite, as always.

While the Celestial not only sports an incredible price tag (£180,000) it is also, quite obviously, produced in very limited quantity. Only eight such pieces were on display at the event, or so I gather.

Many thanks to Howard for linking me to the splendid photos, of what must have been quite an evening.

About

For the past couple years I lived in the UK, reading in BEng (Hons) Electronic and Computer Engineering at The University of Leeds and MSc (Dist) Mechatronics at King's College London.

My interests and hobbies include writing with Fountain Pens on various ink and paper, Swiss and German wristwatches, authoring articles in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering, and Gundam modeling.

I have been following much Anime over the years as well as TV Shows with the likes of 24, Smallville, Dexter, and NCIS becoming favourites.
