Patek Philippe expands its Grandmaster Chime collection by introducing two new models: a two tone version in gold (reference 6300GR-001), and a high jewellery variant adorned with baguette-cut diamonds and emeralds (reference 6300/403G-001).
The Grandmaster Chime watch was introduced in 2014 in a limited edition (reference 5175) to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe. Boasting 20 complications, it is the most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch. In 2016, the Geneva Maison launched the current product series (reference 6300).
In addition to perpetual calendar, moon-phase and dual-time zone functions, the Grandmaster Chime watch incorporates a number of acoustic complications like alarm, minute repeater, date repeater, grande sonnerie and petite sonnerie. Driven by a manual-wound movement, this extremely complex mechanical timepiece is particularly notable for its five chiming modes, including an alarm striking the pre-selected time, and a date repeater striking the date on demand.
Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Two Tone Reference 6300GR-001
The manufacture is now reinterpreting the design of the double-face reversible case, endowed with a patented rotation mechanism, by presenting it for the first time in a bicolor version combining white gold and rose gold.
This new Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300GR-001 also stands out by its two brown opaline dials, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the side displaying the time of day, and its two-tone chestnut brown patinated alligator strap and bicolor folding buckle.
Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Haute Joaillerie Reference 6300/403G-001
In 2022, Patek Philippe introduced two gem-set versions of Grandmaster Chime, one with baguette-cut diamonds (Reference 6300/400G-001) the other with baguette-cut diamonds and baguette-cut blue sapphires (Reference 6300/401G-001).
Now, the manufacture is presenting the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Haute Joaillerie Reference 6300/403G-001 shimmering with 118 baguette-cut emeralds (7.87 ct) and 291 baguette-cut diamonds (20.54 ct) in a superb example of the “baguette” and “invisible” setting techniques.
This high jewellery variant comes with two dials in ebony-black opaline, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the time side and a shiny black alligator leather strap with emerald-green hand stitching.
