Patek Philippe Quadruple Grand Complications 5308G-001 Minute-Repeater Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar White Gold Ice Blue Dial (2025)

The Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5308G-001, introduced in 2025, represents the pinnacle of mechanical mastery and elegance, combining four of the most revered complications in haute horlogerie. Housed in a 42mm white gold case, this extraordinary timepiece is defined by its harmonious balance between innovation and tradition, made even more captivating by the icy blue sunburst dial—a refined hue exclusive to this high-complication debut.

This watch brings together a minute repeater, a split-seconds monopusher chronograph, and an instantaneous perpetual calendar—complications rarely integrated into a single wristwatch. The minute repeater chimes with cathedral gongs, known for their longer, more resonant tones. The split-seconds chronograph allows for timing multiple events simultaneously via the elegant monopusher mechanism, while the perpetual calendar’s indications—day, date, month, leap year, and day/night—leap forward precisely at midnight in unison.

The ice blue dial serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the watch’s classical architecture, offering superb legibility through white-gold applied markers and subtly recessed subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The aperture at 12 o’clock houses a double window for day and month, while the leap year and day/night indicators are cleverly integrated into the chronograph subdials.

Powering this marvel is the caliber R CHR 27 PS QI, a newly developed ultra-complex manual-winding movement visible through the sapphire caseback. Despite housing 799 components, it remains remarkably slim, a testament to Patek Philippe’s engineering finesse.

The 5308G-001 is offered on a shiny navy blue alligator strap with a white gold fold-over clasp. It’s not just a grand complication—it’s a grand statement. Reserved for the most elite collectors, this timepiece is a symbol of mechanical poetry and Patek Philippe’s continued supremacy in the world of ultra-high-end watchmaking.
