SUMMARY

Patek Philippe makes only a small number of Grand Complication watches in any given year, owing to the lengthy time required to create them. They represent the pinnacle of Patek Philippe ownership and this ref. 5140P-013 offers a combination of technical prowess and luxuriousness thanks to its diamond-set dial and platinum case encompassing the 240 Q perpetual calendar movement. This ultra-thin calibre is one of the benchmark movements in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Despite its complexity, it looks remarkably clean and uncluttered and is elaborately decorated with perlage, Côtes de Genève and bevelling. A gold micro-rotor ensures the view of the movement is not obstructed.
