Upon Further Review ....

My guess is that you don’t have a Patek Celestial?

Look, … I don’t get defensive about watches because quite frankly it’s only important that they make me happy.  The obvious negative certainty you express in your opinion, however, leads me to believe that a different analysis from a “hands on” observation point might be in order.

Have you ever met a person you were sure you’d detest only to find that they’re nothing like you imagined them to be?  If you have, this experience might mirror what you’d find if you wore a Patek Celestial.

I’ve found that many who shop for watches in the Grand Complications category are enamored with the multitude of features and the wealth of data that’s presented on the dial.  Indeed, I might fit that description?  As a result, at first blush and without primary experience the Celestial might not seem to offer very much.  There’s no sound.  There’s no chronographic function.  Heck, you can’t even tell what month you’re in?  Ahhh, … but that’s the trap.  The dial of the Patek Celestial is actually wildly fun.  With the stars and the moon constantly moving at different rates, like the sky itself the background of the watch is truly unique each day.  In the 6102P the date around the periphery is simply a bonus.

It’s only my opinion, but when it comes to the Patek Celestial in order to “get it” … you have to get it.
