In 2016, the ‘Patek Philippe 1518 steel’ was sold for $11 million, making it the world’s most expensive wristwatch. Though the company already has four perpetual calendar chronographs, this model stands out on its own.
The Patek Philippe 1518 series comes in rare colours. A whopping 281 pieces produced in this collection are mostly yellow gold. A small number meanwhile come in a rose gold shade. Only four pieces, however, come in stainless steel.
Besides remarkable craftsmanship, the Patek Philippe’s 1518 features an inimitable date display function and moon phase indicator. It also includes a movement powered by Valjoux Caliber 13 which is similar to the famous reference 130. In addition, it includes a perpetual calendar module by Victoria Piguet.
