Second Most Complicated Watch

Patek Phillipe’s Supercomplication


Patek Phillipe Super complication

Patek Philippe’s supercomplicated creation is also super expensive. The famed watchmaker finished the timepiece in 1932, a four year-long commission to create a watch for Henry Graves Jr., who had waged watch-war with James Ward Packard. The yellow-gold watch has two faces and 24 complications and was bought at a Sotheby’s auction for a little over $11 million.

- Complications 24.
- Created in 1932.

Note: There are some arguments about most complicated watch but I list these watches comparing Complications. I check over the internet and I couldn't find any Complications details of other watches.

With 33 complications, 1728parts, and weight almost 3lbs, the Calibre 89 is no doubt the most complex watch in the world. It was created in 1989 to celebrate the 150th anniversary. There are only four available in platinum, white gold, rose gold and yellow gold, only four were produced. One was sold at auction in Geneva in 2004 for over 6.6 million .
