Introducing: The Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300G ¨C The Most Complicated Patek, Now In White Gold

The Grandmaster Chime – reference 5175 – the most complicated Patek wristwatch ever made, of which there were only seven pieces made – six for the best clients in the world, one for the museum – has returned. It has a new reference, in a new case material, and without all that incredibly ornate engraving, but it's back. First, have a look below at what makes this watch so special.

Sub Date and Milgauss
My current collection. I plan to include 1-2 more pieces: 116600 or SD43, and Daytona C. Thinking I may let the Sub Date go being replaced by the new piece. Or I better let one of the Milgauss go? I want to limit the collection to 8 watches.
