It is difficult for watch fans who have some research on Patek Philippe not to know the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G model. It can be regarded as one of the most representative works of Patek Philippe. It has a full 20 complex functions, of which there are as many as 5 kinds of timekeeping functions. It is the most complex function watch of Patek Philippe. At the same time, the Grandmaster Chime series also pioneered double-sided watches for Patek Philippe. It can be said that this series represents the highest level of Patek Philippe's craftsmanship and is also the crown jewel of the watch industry.
In the second half of 2022, on the basis of the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300G, Patek Philippe will release two more high-end gemstone versions, namely the pure diamond version and the sapphire and diamond version. Compared with other models using traditional inlay technology, these two models use the "invisible inlay" technology, which can fix the gemstones without the use of prongs, so that a series of gemstones can be seamlessly spliced, and the visual separation is removed to the greatest extent. a feeling of. I don’t know if it’s thanks to this new technology. Compared with the Ref. 6300G version without gems, these two gem versions not only add a lot of elegance and luxury to the previous elegant atmosphere, but also contain a sense of modern design. . This ray of modernity not only does not contradict the classic atmosphere of this watch, but also adds some indescribable high-end sense to the original temperament, which is a temperament that is absolutely difficult to replicate in ordinary watches.
As mentioned earlier, Grandmaster Chime series watches often have an important feature, that is, the double-sided dial, and these two watches are no exception. The uniquely designed reversing device can not only conveniently reverse the two dials at any time, but also can be firmly fixed after turning in place. Although the design of the case is not as gorgeous as the originator of the series, Ref.5175 (Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary model), it is simple and not monotonous because of the gemstone covering, and their ultimate beauty is reflected in different directions. The black of the dial is just right, not pure black, but black similar to carbon fiber, which is more advanced and modern, and echoes the temperament of gemstones covered on the case.
Generally speaking, although the biggest changes made by these two watches compared to the original Ref. 6300 may be objectively just using gemstones to cover the case, but in terms of effect presentation, it is similar to Ref. The 6300 does have a very big difference in temperament. If Ref. 6300 can be regarded as the crown of the wrist watch industry because of the craftsmanship value brought by its complex functions, then these two gem versions are undoubtedly embellished with a huge rare pearl on the crown, making the peak Peak again.
