The Sky Moon Tourbillon, a rare watch by Patek Philippe, sold for $5.8m at Christie’s Hong Kong, thus breaking the record for the highest price paid in an online auction, IDEX Online reports.
The Sky Moon Tourbillon has a blue handmade enamel dial and white gold hand-carved case, and is considered “one of the most sophisticated timepieces ever created, with functions that include a cathedral minute repeating, tourbillon, perpetual calendar, retrograde date, moon phases, leap year indication, sidereal time, sky chart, phases and orbit of the moon.”
The previous record belongs to a Philippe Dufour Grand Sonnerie, which sold for $7.63 million in an online auction in 2021.
