One could easily pose the question – Which contemporary watch or watch maker is the most important? The people at Christie’s might have the answer – it’s the magnificent Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon. This watch will elicit “Oohs!” and “Ahs!” out of anybody. The estimated auction price will have the same effect – it is expected to realize as much as ten million dollars. That price tag is just one more reason for its importance. Besides, that the thing (Lot number 3157) is a true complication – with a dozen separate complications.
Few watches can compare with that (except for the Breguet Queen Watch – named for Marie Antoinette). The Sky Moon is also important for its advancement in the technology of time pieces. Few mortals can ever hope to obtain such a lofty piece of timekeeping. The Patek Philippe is rare even on eBay. That is why the rest of the crowd has to “settle” for a replica Patek Philippe watch. The HR replica PP watch collection is just as important to lover of fine time pieces. Tourbillons, chronographs and complications can be found in this astounding collection of 41 replicas. Like Alain Silberstein, these replicas also offer “Day” and “Night” editions. The sun, the moon, the Big Dipper and even other starry constellations are available. These will be treasured by armchair astronomers and watch lovers alike.
A true classic is the “Day Night Men’s Calatrava” replica. The combination of a “satin gold” finish case set against a red hide leather wrist band is stunning and sumptuous to behold. The dial has partially hidden Roman numeral hour markers under a smoked-crystal rim. This would make a great gift for Father’s Day or any day. Also important is the complicated chronograph with three sub-dials and a functioning moon-phase indicator. These are further highlighted by the complex beauty of an elegant guilloche engraved dial face.
