Patek Philippe Unworn 2023 Grand Complications 5271/11p Blue Sapphire

Among their plethora of iconic collections, one of Patek Philippe’s most revered offerings is their family of Grand Complications. Containing a wide-ranging selection of models, references and complications, Patek’s Grand Complications timepieces are some of the most distinguished and celebrated watches in all of watchmaking, not just Patek Philippe’s catalog, and the ref. 5271P is no different. Combining two of horology’s most complex complications, the chronograph and perpetual calendar, this stunning model is constructed of platinum and showcases Patek’s impressive horlogical engineering and their impeccable craftsmanship.Offered here we have the Grand Complications ref. 5271/11P in platinum that Patek launched in 2022. Boasting a 41mm case with angular lugs and a leather strap, the ref. 5271P combines classical watchmaking ideas with modern luxury. Featuring a gorgeous glossy blue lacquered dial, the latest iteration of the ref. 5271P introduced a new dial design to the collection, whereby the ‘chin’ that was present on the older generation of the ref. 5271P that was created by the subdial at 6 o’clock interacting with the chapter ring is no longer present. Featuring chronograph subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock, a pointer date subdial with a moon phase indicator at 6 o’clock, day and month apertures at 12 o’clock, and an AM/PM indicator and leap year indicator at 4:30 and 7:30, the ref. 5271P’s dial is wonderfully symmetrical and useful.Celebrating the very best Patek has to offer, the ref. 5271/11P’s exuberance does not stop with its platinum construction. Indeed, featuring 58 baguette-cut sapphires along its bezel and atop its lug hoods to match its stunning smoked blue lacquer dial, the ref. 5271/11P is not only one of the most finely constructed timepieces Patek has to offer, but it also looks it too.
