Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010 ‘Only Watch’

Patek Philippe created this one-off steel Grandmaster Chime specifically for Only Watch 2019; it has 20 complications, a reversible case and “The Only One” on the alarm sub-dial. Christie’s sold it in Geneva on 9 November 2019 for CHF 31,000,000, setting a world auction record for any watch. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Christie's source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
