P atek P hilippe G randmaster C hime H aute J oaillerie Exceptional new expressions enrich the collection U niting Grand Complications with the art of gemsetting, Patek Philippe expands its remarkable collection with exceptional new timepieces. The Geneva manufacture is endowing the Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300, its most complicated wristwatch, with two new Haute Joaillerie versions, embellished by the brilliance of baguette-cut diamonds and baguette-cut blue sapphires. The stellar creation among the commemorative pieces for the 175th anniversary of the Manufacture in 2014, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime made its entry into the current collection in 2016 with a white gold case framing black and white dials. Patek Philippe has now enhanced the mechanical sophistication of this model by offering it in an Haute Joaillerie version with a white gold case and fold-over clasp set with 409 baguette-cut diamonds (31.35cts). This precious adornment is enhanced by the “invisible setting” technique on the caseband as well as on the sides of the lugs and the swivel links. Thedouble-facedreversible case isdistinguished by its patented rotation mechanism enabling it to be worn at will with either dial visible. The two gold dials are attired in an elegant ebony black opaline colour, with hand-guilloched Clous de Paris hobnail pattern on the time side. The watch is teamed with a shiny black alligator leather strap featuring contrasting cream stitching. Simply Abu Dhabi | 131
