When Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean lover John Mayer was interviewed in the NY Times about his collection (which does include a Sky Moon), this is what he said "There's no real retail for it, because it's so difficult to get.Hours and minutes of mean solar timeDay, month, leap year by handsMoon ageCrown at 4 o'clocksetting of the time and windingOpaline-white dial with embossed Calatrava cross motif, gold applied Roman numerals9 handsReverse sidesidereal time, sky chart, phase and orbit of the Moon Crown at 8 o'clock (24-hour scale)correction of sky/moon indicationsCase is humidity and dust protected only (not water resistant)Yes, it's very complicated, and yes it is very rare. While they do still make the Sky Moon, production is limited to only two units per year. When a Sky Moon comes up for auction, it is the guaranteed headliner.
We (and many others) have often said Patek Philippe is perhaps the most exceptional watch brand on the planet. They were the first brand to have the audacity to charge $20,000 for an uncomplicated, stainless steel Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean . They did it, they're still doing it, and people are still paying it. While many people strive to own a Patek in their lifetime (although, you never actually own a Patek, right?) what does the brand itself strive for? To put it simply, they strive to produce watches like the Sky Moon Tourbillon. The Sky Moon Tourbillon (ref 5002) is the most complicated wristwatch Patek has ever produced, it is also their foray into double-faced Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean . It features:Mechanical manually wound movementCaliber R TO 27 QR SID LU CLMinute repeater with tourbillon escapementChime with two cathedral gongs activated by a slide piece in the caseFront sidePerpetual calendar with retrograde date hand.
