#8 Patek Philippe Grande Complication
 

The #8 Most Expensive Watch comes from one of the oldest and historically remarkable watch manufacturing companies of the world, Patek Philippe. It is unbelievable that this watch is perfectly in its original condition. Grande Complication (1926) was sold for $1,980,200 at the Christie in the year 2005.

This pocket watch was made for the watchmaker’s most influential and important client, Henry Graves, Jr. who was a New York financier. Graves owned around 30 Patek Philippe watches and he was eager to own the most complicated wristwatch in the world. Henry Graves Jr. has collected exquisite watches since 1920s.

Patek Philippe is considered the best in watch makings since 1868. It has manufactured hundreds and thousands of envious watches that are precious pieces for watch lovers and collectors. The Grande Complication (1926) is one of the ultimate timepieces coming from the house of Patek Philippe.

This Grade Complication has 12 ‘complication’ that also includes a winding mechanism of twin-barrel bi-directional and an uninterrupted calendar. This pocket watch has a split-second chronograph, calendar, ages and moon phases that makes it a perfect timepiece from the well-known watchmaker.

Patek Philippe is known for making extraordinary timepieces throughout time. Patek Philippe watches are mostly auctioned and in the process, they set world records for getting the final bid at the most sky-reaching prices. However, any watch collector or watch lover will consider the auctioned price to be quite fair considering the heritage that the watch presents itself with.
