Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Price: $31 million
Year: 2019
When discussing high-end timepieces, Patek Philippe is a name closely associated with sophistication, prestige, and excellent craftsmanship. Within Patek Philippe's impressive collection of watches, there is one that truly stands out as the brand’s most costly ever sold: the Grandmaster Chime 6300A-010.
This timepiece achieved an unprecedented sale price of $31 million during a charitable auction held in Geneva in November 2019. The watch was specifically crafted to commemorate Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary and represents a genuine masterpiece of horology, boasting an array of 20 distinct complications, a stainless steel case, and a double-faced design.
What makes this achievement even more astounding is that despite the high price at auction, the Grandmaster Chime initially retailed for $2.6 million, underscoring the remarkable value it fetched during the auction.
