Patek Philippe 1518
More actions
The Patek Philippe 1518 is, by most accounts, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch, a combination previously reserved for one-off commissions, introduced in 1941 and made until 1954. It packs a chronograph, a perpetual calendar that tracks the uneven months and leap years to 2100, and moon phases onto a single dial, driven by the manually wound calibre 13-130 Q in a case around 35 mm. (Patek Philippe Museum) Roughly 281 were made, mostly in yellow gold; four are known in steel, and one of those sold at auction for $11 million in 2016 and $17.6 million later, among the highest prices ever paid for a wristwatch. It is old-world horological aristocracy, which is exactly the note it strikes on screen. (Luxury Bazaar)
