CELESTIAL
As the owner of the 5102G & 5102PR I find the CELESTIAL, captures my visual sense, of coarse while considering the quality & substance of the piece. As with most we look at our watches to give an indication of the time, which can be displayed is many different ways & forms. No doubt there are some who like to look @ their timepieces without any consideration of the time. I have to admit I do it on occasion, especially with the CELESTIAL, as the play of light creates different moods. The CELESTIAL gives me a reminder of the way time was figured using astronomical bodies, before the mechanical timepiece. To me this watch is about the visual combined with the hidden, non-visual, mathematical & mechanical complication. The case is not over amplified to distract from the dial but just enough design to make it distinct.
Patek Philippe Celestial 6104G and 5102RP, the celestial (mile)stones!
It has been some years now since the introduction of the Celestial dial on some Patek Philippe wristwatches. I have to confess that I’ve never been excessively appealed by these watches. The Star calibre is another subject on the contrary. Still I’ve real...
In fact ...
.. the 5102 could be the watch if i had to choose one and only one watch ... unfortunately i don't have the budget for it unless i sell my house (and buy a nice Lambo with the rest of the money ..) . Reading your poëtic post enlightens my brain .. my drea...
Thanks Filip

Thank you for sharing your owner's thoughts!
Hi, Thank you for your thoughts. Please don't hesitate to share some pics. Cheers Dje
I'm one of those crazy guys about the Celestial.
The Celestial is, with the Minute Repeater, a pure piece of Poetry. Useless? It has been made to know the exact positiion of the stars...Some would think it is useful, the vast majority would see it as an useless and expensive toy, I look at it as a pure ...
Thank you Nicolas
Hi, I know you truly love this watch and hope you'll get one someday. I'm sure this is one of these once in the lifetime pieces. Cheers Dje
I like the Celestial...
I like the 5102PR Celestial quite a bit. And I do like it to the point where I would be pleased to one day own one. However, it is not in the short list of Patek Philippe's I would like to own. The 5110P, a very simple watch is a watch that I am more keen...
formal watch and Celestial 5102
The Celestial is truely and exceptional watch, a unique watch. My choice would be the 5102, as I like YG for it's various moods, depending on the light. YG creates a very particular shine as well as a dull glance that makes the material look like as if it...
wow !!!
Thanks DJE for the way you have written about this beautiful piece I did purchase the 5102PR and have been wearing it regularly for over 6months and I LOVE it. its a piece that is so mesmerizing and appealing.... I did check out the 6104 in Basel this yea...
Thanks Jerome for your insight...............
Into these two very rare timepieces. Unfortuntately (and this goes against the grain of this thread) but I am not a fan of either piece. Which is just as well as the chances of me ever being able to afford one of these pieces, is the same as me landing on...
My pleasure
Hi, Thank you for sharing your pics. It's really an awesome watch. Cheers Dje

has always been a dream
the classic 5102 is just so poetic,As I was fascinated by astronomy already as a child it would be my dream watch,unfortunately not affordable. 6104 is a disaster iMO. Lutz
Did anybody notice...?
On the jewelled version both the hands have been updated (a darker gray than the much more contrasting white of the non-jewelled versions) and the size of the yellow star markers has been enlarged? This gives the face of the jewelled version a much "dense...
