Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5370P-011

About This Watch

The Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5370P-011 is a split-seconds (rattrapante) chronograph in platinum, representing one of the most mechanically complex watches Patek Philippe offers. A split-seconds chronograph allows the timing of two simultaneous events of different durations using two superimposed chronograph seconds hands. The caliber CHR 29-535 PS features a column wheel for the main chronograph and an isolator wheel for the split-seconds mechanism, with a total of over 300 components. The blue lacquered dial in the platinum case creates a combination of supreme refinement, with the dial's multiple layers of lacquer producing a depth of color that changes with the light. The stepped bezel gives the case a distinctive Art Deco-influenced profile. The two chronograph pushers on the right side operate the start/stop and reset functions, while a button in the crown operates the split-seconds function. Watching the two chronograph hands separate and rejoin is one of watchmaking's most captivating visual experiences. The 5370P is produced in extremely limited quantities and represents the zenith of chronograph watchmaking. For the most serious collectors, a Patek Philippe rattrapante chronograph is one of the most significant watches one can own.
