The most intricate mysteries in watchmaking are revealed to the wearer in the Grand Complications range. The tour de force of any watchmaker is being able to create complicated timepieces using ingenious technology and displaying passionate creativity in design. Patek Philippe achieved this by creating two of the world’s finest and most complicated watches within the course of a century. Some notable Grande complications include the chime with cathedral gongs, perpetual calendar moonphase with fly-back retrograde date, the self- winding annual retrograde calendar as well as the world’s finest minute repeaters.
