SULTEN METRO-For Patek Philippe, it’s back this year to Geneva to debut 17 new watches. The expansive line-up of new models is characterized by both technical and aesthetic innovation, with each watch defining the new-age attributes of the brand’s extensive collection.
Five watches fall into the Major Complications category, one of which represents Patek Philippe in his experiment with crossing the limits of horological ability. As its name suggests, this collection is home to some of the brand’s most intricate executions, with the latest example of the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime (ref. 6300GR-001) taking the title of the most elaborate of them all.

In total, the watch comes with a total of 20 complications and never compromises on aesthetic prowess despite its wide functionality.
For its latest reinterpretation of its wristwatches, Patek Philippe introduces a new design featuring a two-tone case that combines white gold and rose gold.

With such a wide range of functions, the Grandmaster Chime’s design had to support its capabilities, a concept reflected in its case, which is reversible.
The 47.7mm exterior can be worn with one of its flat sides facing out thanks to the patented swivel mechanism.
On the side of the case are all the pushers and knobs that perform their various functions, all made of rose gold.
