Patek Philippe Celestial

5/11/2009

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.
