Patek Philippe Complications Ref. 7121/200G-001 Manual Winding

The Patek Philippe 7121/200G is a moon-phase watch built at genuinely small scale, and the achievement is mechanical before it is decorative. Inside is the manually wound Calibre 215 PS LU, Patek's smallest complicated movement at just 3mm thick, and it is only because of that movement that a moon phase can sit inside a 33mm case without the watch becoming thick or clumsy.

The dial is deep blue with a sunburst finish that shifts as the light catches it, and Patek's own description is hard to improve on: the indications stand out like stars against a night sky. Gold applied Breguet numerals and white gold pear-shaped hands mark the time, with the moon phase and small seconds sharing a sub-dial at 6 o'clock.

The bezel carries a double row of 132 brilliant-cut diamonds, around 1.09 carats, set with the Dentelle technique, an intricate lacework setting Patek reserves for pieces like this. The case is white gold, 33mm across and 8.35mm thick, with a sapphire caseback and 30 metres of water resistance, on a hand-stitched square-scale alligator strap in shiny blue with a white gold prong buckle. At Konesseur, every Patek Philippe is authenticated and inspected in Dubai before listing, and the UAE's 5% VAT is a meaningful advantage at this level.
