Celestial price understanding

[QuelleHeureEstIl]

I have been loving space since... ever.

So I am curious about the Celestial. I am trying to understand why its price is that high.

Caliber seems to be not that complex.
There is no rare handcraft (enamel, engraving, etc).

Thank you.

It is a special watch!

It shows the evening sky seen from Geneva. I don't know many watch manufacturers that produce such a watch.

If you haven't seen one in person, go into the Geneva Salon and take a look at one

Maybe this explains it a bit. The Celestial is my grail piece in the patek line-up.

Thanks for the link. I had not looked at this piece before and it got me curious. It also led me to this video, which I think gives even more of a flavour of the complication and it’s uniqueness. Definitely this piece highlights the meeting of art / creativity and science / engineering that I think is at the heart of great watchmaking.
