How much is a Patek Philippe Grand Complications watch?

If the question “how much should I set aside in order to buy a Patek Philippe Grand Complications watch” has been lingering on your mind for quite some time now, below is a summary of the collection’s most popular models, their prices, specifications and other important details. 

Prices for the Patek Philippe Grand Complications Tourbillon Watches 

With features that goes beyond the ordinary, any Patek Philippe Grand Complications watch is bound to steal the attention of many. They are considered sought-after pieces among watch enthusiasts because of the rare and state-of-the-art attributes and parts they boast. One of the remarkable models the collection offers are those with tourbillon attributes. Known for enhancing the accuracy and the overall performance of a watch by playing with gravity, the tourbillon is not only beneficial to pocket watches but also wristwatches in general. Despite being invented decades ago, the complication remains superb in terms of ensuring precision and adding a bold and striking touch to any watch. Since the process of making a tourbillon requires a lot of patience and attention to detail, you can expect that timepieces with this mechanism bear a hefty price tag. If you are looking into buying your own Patek Philippe watch with a tourbillon, you better weigh whether your budget will allow it before actually making a decision.

An exceptional cult favorite is the Patek Philippe Grand Complication Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002G-010. Released in 2013 as an upgrade to the groundbreaking Sky Moon Tourbillon with reference number 5002P, this timekeeper looks charming because of its delicate 44mm white gold case that sports a beautiful hand-engraved pattern. Although slightly bigger than any other Patek Philippe watches, this one still sits nicely on any type of wrists. Other than the fact that this piece is protected by a robust sapphire crystal, it also sports a cool black enamel dial in champlevé and cloisonné accents. What’s interesting about this watch is that it also has an 18K gold dial plate in the center, which is so subtle and very pleasing to the eye. 

Furthermore, it runs on an  in-house 55-jewel Caliber R TO 27 QR SID LU CL, with a strong power reserve of approximately 48 hours. However, the focal point of this watch lies within its abilities and jaw-dropping performance. Like its predecessor, this one has 12 complications in its arsenal including a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand on the edges, along with day, month and leap year indication and hours and minutes of mean solar time display on the front side. With all of these complications, expect that this watch is rare and very hard to get nowadays. Priced at a whopping $2 million USD, the Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002G-010 is one of the most expensive Patek Philippe watches you will see today. If you are lucky enough, you can also score a pre-loved unit that costs roughly about  $1.2 million USD. However, if you want to save up some few pennies and still get the same services that the model 6002G-010 offers, you can opt for its predecessor, the 5002P, which is available in secondary markets for around $1.3 million USD.

People who want a newer model that still has a tourbillon feature, coupled with other functions that are not too complex to comprehend will surely appreciate the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5303R-001. Unveiled during the 2019 Watch Art Grand Exhibition Singapore, this 42mm watch has a bare dial that all watch geeks will truly love. Those who like being away from the bandwagon will appreciate how this watch was made. Aside from the fact that it is unique, the addition of an open architecture adds a unique element to the watch, making it a true collector’s piece. While it does not have any date or month displays, this model makes up with its minute repeater function that is proven useful even to those with visual impairments. The polished rose gold case and lugs that match the shiny black alligator leather strap also give the watch a more lavish kick. Moreover, the leaf-like patterns of the hands and in the sides of the case that surrounds the crown beautifully are also lovely sights to see. The only downside of the 5303R-001 model is that you cannot bring it to any of your beach trips nor your quick shower breaks. However, keep in mind that this watch’s sapphire glass is still resistant to major UV rays, humidity and any kind of dusts. In terms of power, this model relies on a 28-jewel Caliber R TO 27 PS/252, which has a maximum power reserve of 48 hours and 21,600 vibrations per hour (“vph”). When it comes to price, this watch will set you back for around $645,000 USD.

Prices for the Patek Philippe Grand Complications Chime Watches 

It is no doubt that Patek Philippe has already mastered the art of horology with its experimental timepieces that continuously change the timekeeping realm one way or another. One genre that they have already excelled in is creating chime watches that allow wearers to track time without the need to look directly at the watch itself. Proven to be useful in situations where concentration is vital and necessary, these melodious gems do not only boast classic and appealing designs but also grand parts that will make you want to hoard all of them in just one go. From minute repeaters and grand and petite sonnerie to alarm functions and date repeaters, there are so many varieties of chime timepieces to choose from and all you have to do is to evaluate what will suit your exquisite taste. Since the process of making these kinds of watches are exhaustive and very time-consuming, the end products tend to usually have a heavy price tag. Despite this, you will not have to worry about the quality as all Patek Philippe Chime watches are made with pure passion and determination. 

One great example of a Patek Philippe watch with a chiming mechanism is the Patek Philippe Grand Complications Grandmaster Chime 6300G-010, which is considered the closest sibling and the newest upgrade of the most complicated timepiece of the brand, the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 5175. Released in 2018, this model comes with a shiny navy blue strap that complements the beaming and luscious white gold case. Considered as an ideal timepiece for men, it also has a 47.7mm case, with a height of 16.07mm. Matching the watch band, we have two crisp blue opaline dials that correspond to the side dedicated for time and a portion dedicated for the calendar. In other words, the Grandmaster 6300G-010 is a reversible watch, which you can bring from your office gatherings to your night parties. 

Delving further, the side dedicated for time has two complex subdials with Breguet numerals gracing the edges. The signature of this model is also placed at the center along with a hand-guilloche detail, deviating from the usual concept most watches do wherein the logo should go at the top part of the watch just below the 12 o’clock position. Meanwhile, the calendar portion has four gorgeous and straightforward subdials with the year display, peeking in the center position. Although considered less ornate than its predecessor, this timepiece takes the cake for it runs on a Caliber 300 GS AL 36-750 QIS FUS IRM manual movement with 108 jewels and an increased movement power reserve of 72 hours. Slightly bigger than usual movements produced by the company due to its extremely complicated functions, the Caliber of this watch has a size of 37mm and a height of 10.7mm. All in all, this conversational model has 1,366 parts and 20 complications, which will truly allow you to shine in any room you are in. While it is not a limited edition like its notable predecessor, the Grandmaster 6300G-010 is available for purchase in Patek Philippe stores for around $2.47 million USD.

For those that want a simpler timepiece that still looks promising in all aspects, a model with a “Travel Time'' attribute is available for a whopping price tag of around $272,600 USD. Despite being one of the slightly cheaper pieces from the line, the Grand Complications 5520P-001 is the way to go especially if you have a more laid-back personality and if you are fond of exploring new places. With a 42.2mm case in a luxurious platinum material, this watch is a total stunner even at first glance because of the nobleness in exhibits. Extremely polished down to its littlest corners, the watch’s case is in silver color, while the Arabic numeral hour-markers and hands are all coated with luminous elements. Not to mention, the watch has four crowns and a black sub-dial with white outlines that corresponds to the 24-hour mechanism. Moreover, this one also has a two time zone indication for local and home time as well as a sweep seconds hand. Unlike the previous model, this watch has a smaller sizing of 42.2mm and a layout that is much more easier to navigate. What’s more is that the calfskin black strap with a clevis prong buckle is sleek enough to match your dressier outfits.

Prices for the Patek Philippe Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar Watches

One of the basic features that a Patek Philippe Grand Complications watch has is the perpetual calendar. Although it is already common for other brands to incorporate this kind of characteristics onto their watches, the perpetual calendar still holds great value to anyone who likes to stay updated not only with the time but also the date, day and month. Unlike the annual calendar, this complication is much more smarter because of its ability to detect the correct date, date, month and most importantly, particularly the leap year. What’s more is that this requires even less adjustment than its close sibling. Extremely sophisticated down to its little details, the perpetual calendar is one of the useful features of all Grand Complications watch. 

The Patek Philippe Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar 5320G-001 is a great option and it costs only around $96,600 USD.

As emphasized earlier, all watches from the Patek Philippe Grand Complications collection tend to fall on the expensive side.

Moreover, most of them are also adorned with diamonds, making them great investments like actual jewelries. Among the remarkable vintage Grand Complications watches ever released by Patek Philippe is the Henry Graves Supercomplication Pocket Watch 196385, which was sold at $24 million USD during an auction back in 2014.

Considered the main inspiration for the modern models from the series, the pocket watch in question has 24 complications, such as a perpetual calendar, double chronograph and sunrise/sunset time indication among others.

In addition to the above, perpetual calendars are closely associated with the brand given how they were able to enhance the said complication in ways beyond imagination. The Patek Philippe Reference 1518 is another timepiece to look out for. Aside from being the first ever perpetual calendar chronograph watch made into a series by any watch brand in the world, it also has an classy and authoritative appeal that most modern Grand Complications watches have. Because of its outstanding nature and composition, this watch set the standard for the succeeding perpetual calendar models by the company.

Initially released in 1941 with a retail price of only $1,500 USD, the typical price of the 1518 on the secondary markets today range from $500,000 USD to $1.5 million USD.
