Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon

About this reference

The Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon reference 5002R in 18k pink gold was produced between approximately 2002 and 2012. As the brand’s first double-faced wristwatch, it features twelve complications powered by the manual-wind caliber R TO 27 QR SID LU CL. The front dial displays a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date, leap year cycle, and moon phase, while the reverse side features a celestial chart of the northern hemisphere, sidereal time, and the angular motion of the moon. The 42.8mm case is characterized by hand-engraved Calatrava crosses on the mid-case and includes a minute repeater slide. Collectors value the 5002R for its mechanical complexity and limited production, estimated at roughly ten units per year across all metals. On the secondary market, this reference typically commands between $1,200,000 and $1,800,000. In 2023, a 5002R sold at auction for approximately $1.5 million.
