CELESTIAL MODEL, REF. 6104R-001, CIRCA 2016

The present reference 6104R represents the exceptional opportunity to obtain one of the most exclusive and hard to find models of Patek Philippe's modern production. This magnificent pink gold reference 6104 Celestial with baguette diamond-set bezel and buckle is simply breathtaking in both its sheer beauty and complexity. Featuring a stunningly attractive black dial in contrast to the blue dial of the white gold Celestial reference 6104, the bezel is set with 38 scintillating baguette diamonds and the deployant clasp is set with a further 22 baguette diamonds to perfectly complete this Patek Philippe masterpiece.

Reference 6104 was launched in 2010 in white gold, the present pink gold version followed in the same year. Successor of the legendary reference 5102, this hugely complicated outstanding astronomical wristwatch borrows the principle of showing the celestial canopy from the most complicated wristwatch ever produced by Patek Philippe - reference 5002 Sky Moon Tourbillon. The nocturnal sky of the northern hemisphere rotates to show the apparent angular motion of the stars and moon as well as the progression of the phases of the moon. Hours and minutes are displayed by two pierced white hands. A delicate elliptical contour on the inside of the glass frames the portion of the sky that can be seen from all cities that share the latitude of Geneva. Reference 6104 features a slightly larger case with an additional date indication via an additional hand with red crescent tipped hands.

Without doubt one of Patek Philippe’s most intricate and impressive creations, this reference 6104R effortlessly combine immense mechanical complication with amazing aesthetics and readability.
