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. 5496P-015 offers a combination of technical prowess and luxuriousness thanks to its platinum case encompassing the 324 S QR perpetual calendar movement. This expertly hand-crafted calibre is a benchmark in the world of Haute Horlogerie and its impressive finishing is on view through the sapphire crystal case back. And with a Patek Philippe seal, the watchmaker attests it will run no worse than -3 to +2 seconds per day. On the dial side, rose gold hands and markers reflect the watch’s luxurious profile. Interestingly, this reference features a retrograding date, which adds another layer of complication to this already intricate movement. As a finishing touch, the case encompasses a brilliant cut diamond between the lugs at 6 o’clock as a subtle addition to all platinum watches crafted by Patek Philippe. 

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
