Grand Complications Minute Repeater Chronograph Perpetual Calendar

The Patek Philippe 5208R-001 is a standout among Patek watches of the twenty-first century. All 5208s hail from an exalted family of luxury watches; this model was the first wristwatch grande complication offered in series by the Geneva manufacture. Launched in 2018, the rose gold 5208R is the latest in a line dating back to the Baselworld 2011 debut of the 5208P.

Patek Philippe introduced the original 5208P to great acclaim. More than Patek’s first wristwatch grande complication, it became the longtime daily choice of Patek Philippe chief Thierry Stern. Also a celebrated auction star, the 5208T in piece unique titanium form delivered over 6.2 million Swiss francs at the 2017 “Only Watch” charity event. Annual production of the 5208R amounts to a few dozen units at most, and that must be considered against the scope of Patek Philippe’s annual production of over 50,000..
