I let the 5575 and 6102 out as they are quite special moonphase designs that deserve a more in-depth exploration. Essentially the 5575 and 5102/6102 are quite isolated cases. The 5575 is a very special moonphase with its photorealistic depiction but it does not come close to the craftsmanship of the 6002. Leaps and bounds apart

Patek Philippe Moonphase

Vintage Patek references up until the 3970/3940 boasted a very rich enamel moonphase with handcrafted accompanying gold stars and moon disc. For reference, slide 2 of this post shows a 2499 moonphase and slide 1 is of a 3970 moonphase. The enamel moonphas...

Many thanks for the very kind words

I must admit that I consider myself lucky to own them, that 3448 that I call my Wonder Watch is my pride, but it us just nothing compared with your jaw dropping collection. Your collection of 2499 is totally absolutely stunning incredibly amazing 😳
Thank You!

Your 3448 must be a 4th series I assume (after 1978 am I correct ?) I fully agree on all what you say about the moon phase complication: most people even do not bother to set it but just want to see this romantic complication on their wrist. I'll add some...
As promised here are some more pics of mine…

The enamel moon phase is just incredible, small date ring and pearl minute divisions from the early versions, and the special PP crown only found on the earliest ones… ...
