Rare Watches: The Patek Philippe Tourbillon

Everyone wants to feel special, unique, one-of-a-kind. For many, this desire manifests in our personal style. Some choose tattoos, others dye their hair unorthodox colors, and for some, collecting rare and valuable clothing, jewelry, and watches is the only way to go. For those seeking the top-of-the-line rare watch experience, you can’t go wrong with a Patek Philippe in general, and you especially can’t err when choosing rare models like Patek Philippe tourbillon watches.

The Patek Philippe Tourbillon has captured the hearts, eyes, and attention of watch enthusiasts world-over. This stunning piece has so much to offer the eager and knowledgeable collector, and its rarity is just one reason to consider making the investment (if you can get your hands on one). The good news is, given how rare and exceptional this particular watch is, if now is not the time you can claim this watch for your own, there are plenty of other pieces you can add to your collection and demonstrate your unique and flawless personal style to the world.

Just looking at the Patek Philippe Tourbillon is enough to make your heart skip a beat. This gorgeous watch is a once-in-a-lifetime piece. Its dial inspires imagery of Renaissance paintings or old fairy tale book illustrations – it is grand, elegant, gorgeous, and timeless. This is a watch fit for royalty, so it’s no surprise that getting your hands on one is a nearly impossible task. There are countless reasons to crave making this watch a member of your collection, but beyond its obvious beauty, why is the watch world so enamored with this piece?

A large part of the hype around this watch surrounds the fact that it is a highly impressive piece of mechanical machinery. This gorgeous watch is a double-face wristwatch featuring a staggering 12 complications, with a total of 705 individual pieces.

This isn’t a watch for the average collector – this is a watch for someone who understands why one would seek to make this investment in the first place. This Patek Philippe Tourbillon houses its complications in a 44 mm hand-engraved 18-karat white gold case and a blue alligator strap.

Recently, this watch sold at a Christie’s Hong Kong auction for $5.8 million, making it the most expensive watch ever auctioned online. If you know anything about watches, then you understand that this price is well deserved. Some of the complications featured within this watch are a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon, the minute repeater mechanism, and sidereal time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime watch, and anyone who manages to add it to their collection is a very lucky individual indeed.

With timepieces on both the front and back of the watch, this piece is considered, "a benchmark of ultra high-end horology," according to the Financial Times. With that in mind, it’s no surprise this watch sold so quickly for so much. However, fear not if you cannot own the Patek Philippe Tourbillon (or at least, can’t own it yet).
