a highly collectible item in the manner of Peter Carl Fabergé
each little planet and moon imitates the real thing in that they are richly encrusted with gems of an appropriate colour. e.g. mars is absolutely rippling with prized rubies and the earth is heavily endowed with emeralds and sapphires.
of
course, jupiter, uranus and neptune have gyroscopically balanced gold and silver rings surrounding them spinning endlessly.
our very own moon is a perfectly chiselled white diamond and the sun is a brilliant light source which would best illuminate the facets and flares of the whole solar system.

As if an Orrery isn't expensive enough. |

Yet another fiscally unobtainable object to desire. |

Anyhow, it'd cost the Earth.

Sorry, Overy (ovrery) or Orrery? |

ovrery - substitute r for v not R for V. |
|
| |
But a fabergé Rover would be astronomical!!1! |

"Roger, Roger, what's our vector, Victor ?" |
|

Overy as in ovum (egg) + orrey. |
|
| |
This sounds ludicrously expensive, but DO WANT. |
