Reference 6002
Sky Moon Tourbillon
Caliber R TO 27 QR SID LU CL
Double-sided wristwatch,
12 complications.
The Ref. 5002 Sky Moon Tourbillon is the
manufacture’s most complicated wristwatch with
12 complications on two dials. Now, with the Ref.
6002, the Sky Moon Tourbillon has a successor that
redefines the term grand complication – with a case
and dial that require the utmost in craftsmanship
and artistry.
As regards the movement, the Ref. 6002 is largely
identical with its predecessor. It possesses a minute
repeater with two cathedral gongs and a tourbillon;
on the front dial, it indicates standard time and
features a perpetual calendar with a retrograde
date and a moon-phase display. The rear dial sets
the stage for astronomical functions: it shows
the northern sky, sidereal time, and the angular
progression and phases of the moon.

Unlike the Ref. 5002, it indicates the moon phases
instead of the moon age and features apertures
instead of hands for the day of the week, month,
and leap year displays.
The totally new aspect of the Sky Moon Tourbillon
Ref. 6002 is its appearance, with lavish decorations
that elevate it to the status of a grand creation. To
refer to a case or a dial is almost a sacrilege in the
context of the Ref. 6002. Sculpture would be the
more fitting term for a genuine work of art like the
Sky Moon Tourbillon. In particular, it showcases
two artisanal skills: the art of the engraver and
that of the enameler. Since the advent of Geneva’s
watchmaking heritage in the late 16th century, both
of these crafts have been inseparably allied with
watchmaking..
Recommendations
WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch is equipped with a water-re-
sistant crown, it is not protected at all against the
ingress of moisture because of the slot for the
minute repeater slide.
Therefore, exercise care to ensure that liquid does
not come into contact with your watch.
SERVICE
We recommend that you have your watch ser-
viced at least once every five years. For this pur-
pose, we suggest you take it to an Authorized
Patek Philippe Retailer who will send it to our
Geneva manufacture, the only location autho-
rized to service watches with minute repeaters.
You can then be assured that your watch will
be inspected and overhauled by a qualified mas-
ter watchmaker at Patek Philippe headquarters in
Geneva.
The master watchmaker will completely disas-
semble the movement and then inspect, clean,
and lubricate all the individual parts prior to re-
assembly. All functions of the watch will also be
tested in detail and the escapement regulated if
necessary. Finally, its rate accuracy will be moni-
tored and precision-adjusted for a further period
of at least two weeks.
The case and the buckle will be polished as per
your instructions and your watch will be returned
to you in mint condition. The entire process will
take several weeks because each watch must un-
dergo a complete series of tests to fulfill the strict
quality criteria of Patek Philippe.
If you have any questions regarding the main-
tenance of your watch, contact the Authorized
Patek Philippe Retailer nearest to you or our In-
ternational Customer Service department in Ge-
neva, or visit www.patek.com.
WINDING
We advise you to wind the watch before you put
it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure
on the winding stem which, in the course of the
years, could damage the stem tube.
Make sure you wind the watch gently and uni-
formly. If you proceed too vigorously, you could
damage the movement and break parts, especially
toward the end of the winding process. To reduce
this risk, Patek Philippe has equipped some of its
manually wound watches, including the reference
6002, with a dynamometric crown. This patented
Patek Philippe innovation prevents damage to
the winding mechanism when the mainspring is
fully tensioned. When you hear a succession of
soft clicks, this indicates that the watch is now
wound. This clicking sound is absolutely normal
and indicates when you can stop winding the
watch.

Adjustments procedure
Please wind your watch by hand before correct-
ing any of the displays. To prevent damage to
your watch, perform all settings and corrections
involving the corrector buttons with the setting
stylus that was delivered with your Sky Moon
Tourbillon. All settings and corrections must be
performed in the specified order.
The Skymoon Tourbillon – Ref. 6002 can be set by
consulting our website www.patek.com:

1. Adjustments of the perpetual
calendar and the moon phases (dial
side)
1.1 Preparatory steps
Gently pull the winding crown at 4 o’clock out and
rotate the hands clockwise until the retrograde date
hand of the date display advances by one day. Then
set the hands to 6 a.m. Now, actuate the corrector
button between 11 and 12 o’clock and repeat until
the retrograde date hand points to 1.
1.2 Setting the leap year cycle (subsidiary dial
at 12 o’clock) and the month (subsidiary dial
at 3 o’clock)
In the program, the line marked “Leap year cycle”
gives you the Roman numeral that indicates the
year cycle. Leap years are identified with the Roman
numeral IV. Actuate the corrector button between
3 and 4 o’clock to first set the leap year display and
then the month display.
1.3 Setting the date (retrograde date hand)
The date is set with the corrector button between 11
and 12 o’clock. You will note that the date hand and
the day of the week display advance simultaneously.
See the next step to correct the day of the week.
1.4 Setting the day (subsidiary dial at 9 o’clock)
Actuate the corrector button between 6 and 7
o’clock to set the day of the week.
1.5 setting the moon phase (subsidiary dial at
6 o’clock)
Use the corrector button between 5 and 6 o’clock to
advance the hand until it points to the full moon. In
the program, the line marked “Moon age” tells you
how many times you have to actuate the corrector
button to obtain the correct moon age display.
2. Adjustments of the sky/moon
mechanism (sky side)
This mechanism is corrected with the second crown
at 8 o’clock on the 24-hour dial with the sky chart
facing up and the crown on the right-hand side.
Turning the crown clockwise corrects the sky chart
and sidereal time.
Turning it counterclockwise corrects the moon.
2.1 Setting the moon and the moon phase
When the moon phase display indicates a full
moon, align the moon index with the meridian
(S). In the program, the line marked “Moon phase
revolution” tells you how many revolutions the
moon must perform to obtain the correct moon
phase display setting. Advance the moon index by
that number of revolutions.
In the program, the lines marked “Moon adjust-
ments” tells you the number of large and small divi-
sions by which you must advance the moon index.
This completes the moon setting procedure.
2.2 Setting the sky
Align the sky index with the meridian (S). In the
program, the line marked “Sky adjustments” tells
you the number of large and small divisions by
which you must advance the sky index.
This completes the sky setting procedure.

On demand, the minute repeater will strike the
hours, the quarter-hours, and the minutes which
have elapsed since the last quarter hour. One
hammer strikes the number of hours on a low-
pitched gong. Then, two hammers consecutively
strike the number of quarter-hours on the high-
and low-pitched gongs. Finally, the second ham-
mer strikes the high-pitched gong for a count of
the number of minutes that have elapsed since
the last quarter hour.
It takes the largest number of strikes – 32 in total
– to indicate the time at 12:59. Twelve low-pitched
strikes, three high-low double strikes, and 14 high
strikes.
The minute repeater of the “Sky Moon Tourbil-
lon” is a particularly fascinating implementation
of this endearing mechanism. To achieve the de-
lightfully sonorous chime in the confined space of
a wristwatch, it was necessary to develop
a new alloy explicitly for the gongs. Moreover,
both gongs are nearly twice as long as conven-
tional ones: they are literally “wrapped around”
the movement – yet freely suspended! – over a
length of one and three-quarter turns. Due to
their long-lasting reverberation and voluminous
sound, they are aptly called “cathedral” gongs.
To start the minute repeater, move the slide in
the caseband at 9 o’clock all the way to its end
stop and then fully release the slide. Do not pull
it down under any circumstances. The two ham-
mers will now strike the hours, quarter-hours,
and minutes on the high- and low-pitched gongs.
Do not restart the minute repeater until it has
completed its entire strike sequence.
Caution: Do not turn or pull the crown while
the repeater is working and for 30 seconds
thereafter. If you disregard this warning, the
repeater mechanism could sustain serious dam-
age that is not covered by the warranty.
