The most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch in regular production is now available in a new exclusive edition with two blue opaline dials. The white gold case of the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G-010 is notable for its patented reversing mechanism enabling the watch to be worn with either dial on view. The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G-010 has a price of Swiss Francs 2,260,000.
Launched in 2014 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the brand, the most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch in regular production is now available in a new exclusive edition in white gold with two blue opaline dials, one that focuses on the time and the sonnerie, the other dedicated to the full instantaneous perpetual calendar.
Adorned with a hand-guilloched hobnail pattern, the 47.7 mm x 16.07 mm case of the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G-010 is notable for its patented reversing mechanism enabling the watch to be worn with either dial on view.
It accommodates four spring barrels, two of them double reserved for the strikework and minute repeater mechanisms, and a total of not less than 20 complications:
1 Grande Sonnerie
2 Petite Sonnerie
3 Minute repeater
4 Strikework mode display: Silence/Grand Sonnerie/Petite Sonnerie (SGP)
5 Alarm with time strike
6 Date repeater
7 Movement power-reserve indicator
8 Strikework power-reserve indicator
9 Strikework isolator display
10 Second time zone
11 Second time zone day/night indicator
12 Instantaneous perpetual calendar
13 Day-of-week display
14 Month display
15 Date display (on both dials)
16 Leap year cycle
17 Four-digit year display
18 24-hour and minute subdial
19 Moon phase
20 Crown position indicator (RAH)
When the crown of the watch points to the right, the owner sees the dial that apart from local time also indicates the time in a second time zone together with a day/night indication. The same dial features the power-reserve indicators for the movement and strikework barrels, the position of the winding crown (winding, alarm setting, hand setting), the selection of the strikework mode (Grande Sonnerie, Petite Sonnerie, or Silence) as well as a bell-shaped aperture for the alarm ON/OFF display and a small round window for the strikework isolator (disabled/enabled) display.
The dial of the calendar face features four subdials with analog displays grouped around the gold-framed four-digit year display in the middle. The month is indicated at 3 o'clock, the date and leap-year cycle at 6 o'clock and the day of the week at 9 o'clock. The time of day appears at 12 o'clock on the 24-hour and 60-minute sundial.
The current time and the perpetual instantaneous date - the most frequently consulted information - are displayed on both dials.
Between the two 18K gold dials beats the 2.5 Hz (25,200 vph) caliber 300 GS AL 36-750 QIS FUS IRM hand-wound movement comprising 1,366 parts. The movement has a power-reserve of 72 hours while the autonomy of the strikework is 30 hours.
The new Ref. 6300G-010 with blue dials replaces the previous version in white gold with black and white dials. It is accompanied by white-gold cuff links with blue opaline centers, decorated with a hand- guilloched hobnail pattern. The case is humidity and dust protected but not water resistant.
Matched to a shiny navy blue alligator leather strap with square scales secured to the wrist by a fold-over clasp, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G-010 has a price of Swiss Francs 2,260,000. patek.com
