Sky Moon Tourbillon Yellow God

In Context

At 42.8 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 16.25 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

5002J-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a yellow gold case. Introduced in 2000. Beyond the time it carries a tourbillon.

One of Patek's most complicated movements, with over 705 parts.
