Patek Philippe new Sky Moon Tourbillon ref. 6002G

Patek Philippe has just made its most complicated wristwatch even more complicated - the new Sky Moon Tourbillon ref. 6002G is ornately engraved, all over, and fitted with an equally ornate enamel dial.

The Sky Moon Tourbillon ref. 5002 is Patek Philippe's 

most complicated watch. Now it has undergone a major

 facelift. Christened the ref. 6002G, the new Sky Moon

 Tourbillon in white gold is a timepiece of Baroque 

sensibility that is heavily subscribed to the much-more-

is-much-better school of watch design. Princes and 

potentates who find classic Patek Philippe watches too

 simple will certainly love this.

Relief engraved all over - front, back, sides and even on

 the hands - with a lavish, floral motif, much like that 

used to decorate high-end hunting rifles, the ref. 6002G

 is 42.3 mm in diameter. This is many things, but a 

subtle timepiece it is not.

Fortunately not many people will need to acquire the

 \taste. The original ref. 5002 retailed for about CHF1.2 

million, so this will definitely cost quite a bit more. And

 like the ref. 5002, only one or two will be made each

 year.
