Patek Philippe Grand Complications 6300/401G-001 Ebony Black Opaline Dial

The Patek Philippe Grand Complications 6300/401G-001, known as the Grandmaster Chime Haute Joaillerie, is an extraordinary timepiece that exemplifies the pinnacle of horological artistry and gem-setting expertise. Crafted in white gold, this double-faced reversible wristwatch measures 49.4 mm in diameter and 16.32 mm in height, offering a substantial yet elegant presence on the wrist. The case is adorned with 118 baguette-cut blue sapphires totaling 11.9 carats and 291 baguette-cut diamonds totaling 20.54 carats, utilizing the intricate "invisible setting" technique to achieve a seamless and luxurious appearance. 

Ebony Black Opaline Dials

This masterpiece features two dials:

• Time Side: The ebony black opaline dial is embellished with a hand-guilloched hobnail pattern and gold-applied Breguet numerals, exuding classic sophistication.
  

• Calendar Side: Also in ebony black opaline, this dial displays the perpetual calendar functions with clarity and elegance.

Exceptional Movement and Complications

At the heart of the 6300/401G-001 lies the manually wound Caliber 300 GS AL 36-750 QIS FUS IRM, comprising 1,366 parts and 108 jewels. Operating at a frequency of 25,200 semi-oscillations per hour (3.5 Hz), it offers a power reserve of up to 72 hours. This movement powers an impressive array of 20 complications, including:

• Grande and Petite Sonnerie: Automatic chiming mechanisms that strike the hours and quarters.

• Minute Repeater: Activated on demand to chime the exact time.

• Alarm with Time Strike: A patented feature that sounds the alarm at a preset time.

• Date Repeater: Another patented function that audibly indicates the date upon activation.

• Instantaneous Perpetual Calendar: Displays day, date (on both dials), month, leap-year cycle, and a four-digit year in an aperture.

• Second Time Zone: Indicates a second time zone with a day/night indicator.

• Moon Phases: Shows the current phase of the moon.

• 24-Hour and Minute Subdial: Provides an additional time display.

• Power Reserve Indicators: Separate indicators for both the movement and strikework.

• Strikework Isolator Display: Indicates the status of the chiming mechanism.

• Crown Position Indicator: Shows the current position of the crown (winding, alarm setting, hand-setting).
