Continuing their exploration of moon phases, Arnold & Son has meticulously crafted the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum "celestial blue" with unwavering attention to detail and decorative craftsmanship. Housed in a 41.5 mm platinum case measuring 11.30 mm thick, this timepiece boasts the largest astronomical moon in the collection, creating a striking visual impact.
The Perpetual Moon collection has undergone a significant redesign, resulting in the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum "celestial blue" exuding enhanced refinement and subtlety. The lugs have been simplified and refined, now presenting a sleeker form of plunging bars with beveled ends. The slightly reduced 41.5 mm case, without altering the dial opening, accentuates the slimmer bezel, drawing the eye towards the dial's exquisite finishes, the prominent pale-blue shade, and the magnificent moon display.

The dial of the Perpetual Moon 41.5 Platinum "celestial blue" showcases the captivating "Stellar Rays" finish. Expertly engraved, the irregular patterns of rays create a rhythmic play of light, further accentuated by multiple layers of transparent lacquer. The large white mother-of-pearl moon, painted by hand with intricate shadows and coated with Super-LumiNova, is set against a midnight-blue PVD-treated grained sky. Hand-painted and luminescent-coated constellations of the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia surround the moon, paying homage to John Arnold's legacy as a naval chronometer maker.
