The Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva celebrates its 20th anniversary now, since it was inaugurated in November 2001. We love this museum, with various editors of WOW having visited over the course of our own 20-year history.

Not only does it have some 2,500 horological objects and related materials covering 500 years of history, but it also celebrates the art of watchmaking.

We confess though that the anniversary of the museum slipped our minds here because 2001 is also the year that the incredible Ref. 5002 made its debut, and that is one of the watches that shaped WOW, and this writer.
For the casual reader, Ref. 5002 is perhaps better known as the Sky Moon Tourbillon, and it is one of the most significant watches ever made. Helpfully, you can actually experience this significant chapter in contemporary watchmaking at the Patek Philippe Museum.
