雅典,「Planetarium Copernicus」,限量編號33/65,極罕有限量白金及玫瑰金自動上弦天文腕錶,配隕石面盤,年份約1995。
The Planetarium Copernicus model was first introduced in 1988. Along with "Astrolabium Galileo Galilei" (as present in Lot 689) and "Tellerium Johannes Kepler", the three timepieces made by Ulysse Nardin was named "the Trilogy of Time" to honour the three brilliant names in the world of astronomy. In comparison with Astrolabium Galileo Galilei which displays the position of the sun and the moon people see from the earth, the Planetarium Copernicus shows the comparative positions of the five main planets of solar system in relation to the sun and the earth. Moreover, the piece is also a perpetual calendar that represents the 12 constellations. With its distinctive status in the world of horology and the stunning complication, this superb and visually impressive timepiece will appeal to all who appreciate mechanical miracles.
