Patek Philippe Watches

One of the most luxurious models among the Patek Philippe collection are its tourbillon timepieces. While each Patek Philippe watch with its Poincon de Geneve is unrivaled in terms of precision and accuracy, those with a tourbillon complication raises the standard even more. A tourbillon is a mechanism that negates the effects of gravity on the sensitive parts of a watch escapement. Not only does it imply precision, but it is likewise a display of watchmaking virtuosity. Although most luxury watch brands are able to boast of their own tourbillon timepieces, one of the most prestigious and complicated modern timepiece built is the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon. While it does not have the number of complications of the Graves Supercomplication, it boasts of 12 complications on two dials (front and back) which include a tourbillon, retrograde date, perpetual calendar, minute repeater, sidereal time, and a celestial sky chart. More modest, but no less prestigious, is the Patek Philippe 10-Day Tourbillon with its gold or platinum rectangular case. These are manually-wound timepieces with a 10-day power reserve and a tourbillon complication. Other models among this collection are the Patek Philippe Tourbillon Minute Repeater and the Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5216 which augments the tourbillon and minute repeater with a perpetual calendar complication. Regardless of the model, a Patek Philippe Tourbillon timepiece is truly a masterpiece.
