Patek Philippe calls its Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Watch “the most complicated wristwatch it has ever made.” The watch is worth tens of millions of dollars and only seven examples of the Grandmaster Chime were ever made. One example is located in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, Switzerland, so only six are “on the market”.
The wristwatch has twenty complications, two independent dials, a reversible case and six patented innovations. In total, the development, assembly and production of just one of these legendary watches cost more than 100,000 hours. Patek Philippe is the world leader in complicated watches, but it has outdone itself with the Grandmaster.
