Moon phase
Again, I am discounting the perpetual calendars and leaving those with the moonphase as a prominent feature. There are not too many of those and frankly, while they are beautiful, they are not of much practical value - after all, even if the watch misses one day in 1,058 years but if that is not your only watch, chances are that you won't wind it everyday.... I know a lot of my friends don't even bother to adjust the moon phase function on their watches.
Without further ado, here is my modest moon phase collection:
Patek 5712G
De Bethune Jewelry DB 25
De Bethune Jewelry DB 25
Love the blue baguettes
De Bethune DB28
ALS 1815 Moon phase in honey gold
FP Journe Octa Lune to celebrate 50 years of Sino-French diplomatic relationship
I must confess that I have already parted with one of the above pieces - at a handsome profit :P but rather foolishly I have to admit. Just don't ask me why....

With the limited options provided, I’d reluctantly take the DeBethune with the blue sapphires. But only if you put a gun to my head.
[hefty dose of dry humor] An amazing collection, my friend. Enjoy it in good health
Haha
It is in fact a very nice dress watch. I never thought I would own a bling bling ....
De Bethune for me Sam!
The moon looks more real than the others and is three dimensional. Thank you for posting!
The spherical moon
Is the trade mark of de Bethune...both pieces are very wearable because of the flexible lugs.
The lugs are everything Sam
because De Bethune do not make small watches. I am hoping to try on a Starry Varius one day!
I like that one too
I put it on my wrist several times but eventually decided against it because the DB25 already shows the astrological pattern (in my case the Geneva sky at night) so I do not need a similar one...
Too much watch porn. The photos are exquisite and the subjects are sublime.
Thank you and keep them Coming.
What an amazing collection you have there! Wow.
I love the 1815 mp - so classy and rare.
Because it is normally sold as a set of three
And the other two models are much more expensive...
That's a problem for me, the adjustment of a moon phase is not that easy, since you have to go on the net, find a site dedicated to moon phases to know the age of the moon.
When linked to a perpetual calendar, you just have to set the date et voilà. Now, I can't deny their poetic dimension... And here, your DB 25 and DB 28 are champions in this category! Best, Sam. Nicolas
Amazing you have an absoluetely amazing colletion of watches!!!
Your RWS and Debethunes are amazing!! Thanks for uploading photos of ur collection! They are both one of my holy grail watches!!! So, same request as before, if you have more pics of your debethunes, pls share!! Especially the one with blue sapphires
Thank you very much!!!
Greatly appreciated! De Bethune are rare enough but put sapphies on them, it just makes them even more amazing
