In today's video, I would like to discuss a bite-sized chunk of Patek Philippe's history condensed into 5 watches which, for me, represent truly incredible leaps.
Featured Watches:
- Ref. 96 Calatrava 1932
- Ref. 1518 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 1941
- Ref. 2526 Calatrava 1953
- Ref. 3700 Nautilus 1976

The Grandmaster Chime Ref. 5175 crowned Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary in 2014.With 20 complications, a movement composed of 1366 parts, six patented innovations, and a double-face case, it is Patek Philippe's most complicated wristwatch. And also the first with a Grande and a Petite Sonnerie as well as three further strikework functions (minute repeater, alarm with time strike, and date repeater). Experience the inception and production of the masterpiece with a reversible case in rose gold. Only seven of them exist.
