Patek Philippe Complications

Useful Functions, Serious Watchmaking

Patek Philippe developed and patented its annual calendar to account for months of 30 and 31 days; while kept running, it needs manual correction at the end of February. Travel Time and World Time serve travellers, while chronographs measure elapsed time.

Choosing A Complications Watch

Choose Complications if you want more than a simple time-only watch but still want something wearable. For a cleaner dress watch, compare Patek Philippe Calatrava.

For sport-luxury design with technical functions, compare Patek Philippe Nautilus. For perpetual calendars, minute repeaters and higher-complexity pieces, look at Patek Philippe Grand Complications.

The function has to matter to you. The 5224R-001 Travel Time uses a 24-hour display, which asks for a different reading habit from a conventional 12-hour dial. Try to understand the setting procedure and layout before paying for a complication.
