Patek Philippe remains as the ultimate name for watch collections today and during the spring auction series of Christie's Hong Kong next week, during the Important Watches sale, a landmark sale: the Patek Philippe Reference 5002P. With a pre-sale estimate of HK$6.5-10 million (US$ 830,000-1.28 million), this watch stands as the most valuable timepiece ever offered by Christie's in Asia. Known as the Sky Moon Tourbillon, the Reference 5002P is the most complicated wristwatch ever produced by Patek Philippe and regarded by many as the finest watch in existence. It features an auspicious 686 parts which come together to form 12 of the most significant horological complications: the tourbillon, perpetual calendar, moon age, leap year cycle, day of the week, month, date, fly back, minute repeater, sky chart, moon phases and orbit. As befitting a magnum opus of this technical complexity and ingenious design, only one out of the 180 master watchmakers at Patek Philippe is able to create this reference. The presence of this watch at auction marks the ultimate opportunity for collectors at the very highest level.
