and here are three that have taken my fancy,
firstly the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase in 18-carat yellow gold, the
position of the moon-phase display in the hour and minute circle allows the
large-format depiction of the moon and the starry sky. The model version in
yellow gold features an ivory argenté-coloured dial crafted from solid silver, price on application, there are some second-hand ones out there for £35,000
from
Vacheron-Constantin, two I like from the Patrimony range, the Moon Phase Retrograde Date, silver-toned opaline dial. Convex external zone with circular
“pearl” minute-track composed by 48 polished 18K gold pearls,
18K gold moons with a starry sky. Retrograde hand-type date. 18K gold bi-faceted baton-type hour/minute hands. Blackened date hand. 18K gold applied hour-markers, price new £47,600, or,
from the same Patrimony range, in pink gold the Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, just 4.05 millimetres thick, which will keep perfect time
until 2100. The moon phase features a star-studded sky and two gold moons,
its open worked case back reveals the exceptional hand-finished details of the self-winding
mechanical movement, yours for £84,500, but I can only choose one for Christmas, Oh! The agony
of choice!
