Grandmaster Chime 6300 White Gold - Sapphire / Black

In Context

At 49.4 mm this is exceptionally large for something worn on a wrist, closer to a pocket watch given lugs. At 16.32 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 72 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 25,200 vph the seconds hand advances 7 times a second.

6300/401G-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black guilloche dial with a yellow gold case.

Patek's masterpiece movement that took an alleged 8 years of development. A total of 1.366 parts is working in perfect harmony to keep their most complicated wristwatch yet operating. It's functions include a Grande Sonnerie, Petite Sonnerie and minute repeater, a strikework mode display for the sonnerie (Silence/ Grande Sonnerie/Petite Sonnerie), an alarm with time strike, a never-before-seen date repeater, a power-reserve indicator for the movement as well as for the strikework, a strikework isolator indicator, a second time zone plus a day/night indicator for it, an instantaneous jumping perpetual calendar with display of day and month, date display (both front and back), leap year cycle and a four-digit year display, a moon phase display, a 24-hour and minute subdial, and a crown position indicator (winding [R], alarm setting [A], timesetting [H]). They are displayed through dials on both front as well as the back of the movement.
