Beautiful watch !! Track day watch too (if you can get over the value) as despite the substantial appearances they are very light and comfy. GL on the sale/trade ..

This is not the Star PP but it will give you an idea. The Star has the constellations on the back and shown as you would see the night sky in your local at that given time.

The one below is less complicated and thus cheaper

Here it is:



It is a 'pocket watch' config.

The 5002 is the wrist watch with the wearer's night sky constellations shown on the reverse side: http://www.patek.com/patek-philippe....dId=3&lang=en&

TMI, I know... I thought this was a car forum

Thanks Cello. What a masterpiece of watchmaking that is. I can appreciate that more than conventional art at similar cost.

Nah, that was a Platinum minute repeater. The star caliber is a pocket watch. Useless for DE. The minute repeater with alaem reminds me of when I have to jump into a student car.... like I wish!

With plebeian watches like A Lange Sohn, Glaschutte and Vacheron Constantin, all I can say is I am not worthy on this thread.
