The watch has two faces and each dial serves a purpose.
The front dial indicates the hours and minutes of standard time, and it is used to display a perpetual calendar, which will be accurate for the next 100 years.
It even takes leap years into account.
In addition to that, you’ve got days of the week at the 9 o’clock, a leap year indicator at the 12, and a moon phase at the 6 o’clock.
The second dial, located where the case back would normally be, displays a star chart of the northern sky and an additional indicator showing the rising and setting orbit of the moon.
It also displays something called sidereal time, which is a timekeeping system used to locate celestian objects.
The seller bought it new in 2015 for around $1.2 million.
It’s an exorbitant amount of money for a watch but, even so, it turned out to be a great investment.
The Christie’s online auction kicked off with a $3.5 million bid, and the price quickly shot up to $5 million.
The final bid was $5,790,153 when the gavel fell.
That’s more than any Ferrari, any Lamborghini, and even most Bugattis since a brand-new Bugatti Chiron costs around $3 million.
