The Grand Complications collection from Patek Philippe includes some of the most prestigious and technically demanding wristwatches ever created. These pieces combine high complications like minute repeaters, perpetual calendars, and celestial indicators with the refined aesthetics that define Patek Philippe's legacy.

Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

The 5270G blends a chronograph with a full perpetual calendar. Featuring a blue dial, moonphase, and day/month apertures, it's powered by the CH 29-535 PS Q manual movement — delivering classical balance and contemporary visual depth.

Watch a hands-on review of the Patek Philippe 5270P — a platinum perpetual calendar chronograph with salmon dial — for insight into finishing, proportions, and dial depth.

Split-Seconds Chronograph

Crafted in platinum, the 5370P features a grand feu black enamel dial and the CHR 29-535 PS movement. The split-seconds function allows for timing multiple events simultaneously — a true collector's complication executed with unmatched finishing.

Minute Repeater Chronograph

The 5208R integrates a minute repeater, monopusher chronograph, and instantaneous perpetual calendar into a single rose gold case. It represents Patek's most advanced automatic movement — the R CH 27 PS QI — and remains one of the most collectible modern references.

Sky Moon Tourbillon

Among the most mechanically complex watches ever produced, the 5002P Sky Moon Tourbillon showcases 12 complications across two dials — including a minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar, and a rotating celestial chart. It's a masterwork of astronomical engineering and craftsmanship.

Celestial

The 6102P Celestial offers a poetic complication — a rotating star chart of the northern sky displayed over a rich blue sapphire dial. It features orbit and moon phase indicators, as well as sidereal time, all powered by the Caliber 240 LU CL C. Set in platinum, this reference blends mechanical ingenuity with astronomical beauty.

Perpetual Calendar

The 5159G is a white gold perpetual calendar featuring a retrograde date hand, day, month, leap year indicators, and moonphase. Its officer-style hinged caseback and lacquered dial showcase Patek Philippe's commitment to traditional case architecture and elegant execution.

How Grand Complications Compare to Complications Models

The Complications collection includes advanced but wearable features such as annual calendars, travel time, and world time functions. Grand Complications, by contrast, push the limits of traditional watchmaking with ultra-complex, handcrafted movements that require the highest level of expertise. Both reflect Patek Philippe's heritage — but appeal to different stages in a collector's journey.
