Swiss manfucturer Patek Phillipe has the world’s most complicated wristwatch ever to his credit. And this exclusive luxury watch called the double-faced Sky Moon Tourbillon is to go on sale on October 7 at Patrizzi and Co.’s Madison Avenue showroom. The estimated price tag, we are told, lies between $1.1 million and $1.3 million.
You must be wondering what exactly does makes this timepiece complicated. Well for starters, it is a rare combinaion of 18-carat yellow gold that has a black dial display for a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. Again, there is a cool tourbillion escapement too. And if that wasn’t complicated enought, then turn to the reverse side of the dial that shows a sky chart and sidereal time.

Let’s admit it hat Patek Phillipe watches are not in the affordable range for most of us. But hey, that should not stop us from admiring a luxury that is so spectacular. The Sky Moon Tourbillon watch available at SoKoBe have garnered a lot of attention owing to their inspiration from the sky moon.
The timepiece is a two-faced one, and we intend so in a good way. When one side gives you a glance of the perpetual calendar, the other one displays a celestial view complete with the star movement, moon orbit and moon phases.
