[Showcase] Extremely Rare Patek Philippe 18K White Gold Grand Complications Wristwatch

Last year timepiece connoisseurs were presented with another of the Patek Philippe’s offerings when Bonhams London auction house offered the Patek Philippe Reference 5160G-001 as part of its Fine Watches and Wristwatches Including the Collection of a European Nobleman sale.

This extremely fine Patek Philippe grand-complication was part of a limited series of automatic perpetual calendars that the company introduced in 2010. The 5160 line began as a bespoke piece commissioned for a single customer, but the manufacturer thought the design was too remarkable to be left as a one-off.
