An absolutely incredible design is what is visible when one lays eyes on this men's watch from famed horologist Patek Philippe. This watch is a winner in every way and has an amazing style. The watch's case is made of platinum with 18K rose gold inlays and is the first Grande Complication with a totally transparent dial. The dial displays a number of elaborately crafted sub-mechanisms which ordinarily perform their tasks unseen: the perpetual calendar, the retrograde date, the minute repeater, the moon-age indication, and, of course, the wheel trains for the hours, minutes and seconds.
The watch's design truly is a work of art. It picks up on the floral theme of the skeletonized hands and the rotor decoration. The flanks of the platinum case are embellished with rose gold 5N intarsia work and even the lugs exhibit delicate rose gold inlays. The case back is transparent to further show off the watch's spectacular complications and to finish off the look, the watch sports a shiny black crocodile leather strap with a platinum tang buckle. Lastly, this piece is water resistant to ~25m / 82ft.
