 e presentation case with outer packaging\n\nOne of the privileges of being
  a horologist is to handle objects of such beauty and intricacy that they 
 will be remembered as indelible highlights of ones career. Be it a pair of
  singing bird pistols from the 19th century or the extraordinary complicat
 ed wristwatches from the 21st century\, the common denominator of these am
 azing timepieces is their ability to impress and amaze\, through their hor
 ological complications\, rarity\, amazing craftsmanship and the beauty of 
 their design.\n\nUndoubtedly\, Patek Philippe with its impeccable lineage 
 is the royalty among watch manufactures and the symbol of perfection. Neit
 her flashy nor ostentatious Patek Philippe is quietly confident in its pla
 ce in the history and future of watch manufacturing. They are indeed a fre
 e spirit full of forward thinking ideas with a perpetual quest for innovat
 ion while protecting the preservation of cherished traditions in the art o
 f watchmaking.\n\nThe Star Caliber 2000 presented in a set of four unique 
 examples\, each with twenty-one complications\, set in each of the four pr
 ecious metals that Patek Philippe created to celebrate the Millennium\, is
  an unprecedented feat that changed the history of watchmaking. Each watch
  has never been used and is decorated with a unique case construction\, di
 ffering from all other known Star Caliber 2000. To collectors of high horo
 logy who think they have mastered and accounted for all watches known to e
 xist\, these four spectacular watches will come as a complete surprise as 
 they have never before made a public appearance.\n\nAs a testament to the 
 modern innovation of watchmaking the Star Caliber stands supreme. The new 
 golden age of watchmaking has not just followed after the 1920’s-50’s.
  It has set its own standard and the grand scale of watchmaking. From the 
 Caliber 89 to the Star Caliber 2000\, begetting the sky moon and Celestial
 \, Patek Philippe continues to reinvent themselves and the importance of h
 orology.\n\nManufactured to celebrate the Millennium\, the Star Caliber 20
 00 is the result of 7 years of research\, manufacture and development by t
 he firm of Patek Philippe. The Star Caliber is a product of the imaginatio
 n inherent to Patek Philippe whom sought to greet the third Millennium wit
 h a very easy to use grand complication combining five centuries of horolo
 gical knowledge to present the new century before us on the grandest of sc
 ales.\n\nManufactured to celebrate the Millennium\, the Star Caliber is th
 e result of 7 years of research\, manufacture and development. Each watch 
 contains an astonishing 1\,118 parts and each watch has a massive diameter
  of 73.2mm. With 21 complications\, 6 of which are patented\, the Star Cal
 iber 2000 is a testament to the firm’s perpetuation of tradition through
  innovation.\n\nThe patented complications include Selective Opening Cover
 s. Simply push down the bow and rotate 180 degrees in the direction the ar
 row is facing and the side which displays the engraved Calatrava cross wil
 l open. In addition\, Sunrise and Sunset are controlled by the Perpetual C
 alendar\, Rapid calendar correction\, Sky and Moon\, Running Equation of T
 ime and Chime complete these patented innovations. The Westminster Chimes 
 are a faithful and amazing reproduction of the sounds of “Big Ben”\, s
 uccessfully striking two identical tones in immediate succession\, somethi
 ng no other watch has ever been able to achieve. Patek Philippe viewed the
  challenge of creating a watch worthy of the new century\, not by combinin
 g as many complications as possible but the complications the firm cherish
 ed most and govern our everyday lines. The dial side is devoted to time me
 asurement even indicating the time of sunrise and sunset and the running e
 quation of time\, synchronized by the perpetual calendar\, enables the rea
 der to observe local mean time and true solar time simultaneously. The Cel
 estial side portrays a mobile astronomical chart\, visualizing the moon an
 d stars and golden ellipse framing part of the heavens visible from a give
 n observation point.\n\nThis set of four Star Caliber 2000 exemplifies a c
 ommon philosophy shared by the owner and Patek Philippe. A continuous ques
 t for excellence\, a desire to excite and surprise and a true devotion to 
 the fascinating world of horology.
