The most beautiful star watch, a dial is worth a lot

The starry sky is beautiful and dreamy. It is a commonly used material in the design field. For example, the design department of the watch often incorporates the starry sky into the watch, usually displayed on the dial or the bottom of the watch. Such a watch also has a nickname, It's called "Star Watch".

A simple star watch is to make the dial into the style of stars, and use a freehand approach to let the viewer "imaginate" the starry sky in front of them. There are only a handful of people who can truly achieve the ultimate starry sky watch and pursue realistic effects. Patek Philippe is one of the few. This brand has so many starry sky watches in the contemporary era, and it literally shrinks the vast starry sky into the dial. The whole table is millions of dollars and there is no other function. It can be said that Patek Philippe's star watch is worth a lot of money alone.

Patek Philippe's contemporary star watch models are said to be less or less, such as 5002, 5102, 5106, 6002, 6102, 6103, 6104, etc. Some of them combine many complex functions, which are very "pure". There are only four models with a single star function as the main model (5106 is also, but there is only one).

In 2002, Patek Philippe released the epoch-making 5102, with two needles plus a starry sky (including the moon phase). Ten years later, Patek Philippe released 6102/6104. Compared with the 5102, the two have only one more date display, and the 6104 is a watch. Ring with diamonds.

In addition, there is also a Patek Philippe Super Star watch, model 6103. Compared with 6104, the bezel of 6103 is set with two circles of diamonds, which is the most luxurious style among these starry watches. The reason why it is called the Super Star Watch is because it is produced in very small quantities and has a very high price. It is also a style that only a few brands can see in Super VIP.

From 5102 to 6103, Patek Philippe's starry sky watch only has a complex function of starry sky display. Many people do not know what the structure and principle of this function are. We can learn about it through relevant information.

Let's take a look at the structure first. The star map of the Patek Philippe Starry Watch is composed of three different sapphire discs. The two sapphire discs show the starry sky background and the moon phase respectively, and another transparent sapphire disc shows the star map and the Milky Way. That is to say, although this is just a dial, it is divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, because only in this way can the fantastic galaxy operation be vividly and three-dimensionally displayed.

According to the brand information, the dial of the Starry Sky watch vividly reproduces the wonderful operation of the celestial body, fully demonstrating the great tradition of Patek Philippe astronomical watches. At any time, its owner can enjoy the starry sky in the northern hemisphere, and can clearly perceive the changes of the stars and the phases of the moon, as well as the path of the moon, and the two hollow hands pointing to the hours and minutes respectively represent the mean solar time. The oval on the inner surface of the sapphire outlines the sky visible from Geneva (where Patek Philippe is headquartered) and at the same latitude.

The adjustment method of the Patek Philippe Starry watch is also very simple. Pull out the crown at 4 o'clock and turn it clockwise to set the moon phase, and turn it counterclockwise to set the sky display. Pull out the crown at 2 o'clock and turn it in any direction to set the time.

Whether it is 5102 or 6103, the movement used is upgraded based on Patek Philippe's self-produced Cal.240 movement, and the pearl tuo made of 22K gold is a one-way winding structure, which can more effectively improve the winding efficiency. As for the grinding of the movement, the Geneva mark on the plywood is enough to show its top craftsmanship. Patek Philippe began to use its own PP mark in 2009, and the previous models used the Geneva mark, both of which also represent the highest level of workmanship in the industry.

Making simple things to the extreme is the brand spirit of Patek Philippe. Among the few single star watches, Patek Philippe's designers and watchmakers have given full play to their superb skills, making the star watches one of the other. The height that the brand cannot surpass. Therefore, Patek Philippe's star watch is also called the most beautiful star watch.
