Arguably the most recognized name in luxury watches, Rolex was originally called Wilsdorf & Davis. It was founded by a German national in 1908. A perfectionist, Hans Wilsdorf worked hard to improve watch standards and prove that high quality products could be produced outside Switzerland

1. Finest Watches: Patek Philippe Triple Complication
Patek Philippe offers a greater range of minute repeater wristwatches in a broader palette of colors than
all other watchmakers combined. It’s no wonder why knowledgeable enthusiasts with an affection for
Patek Philippe’s creations keep coming back for more.
This year’s arrival brings together three major complications. Presented simply as a triple complication,
the Ref. 5208P, launched at Basel world 2011. Self-winding Grand Complication wristwatch with minute
repeater, monopusher chronograph, instantaneous perpetual calendar with apertures, and moon phase.
The new Patek Philippe watch Triple Complication Ref. 5208P is yet another accomplishment that
underscores the leadership of the Geneva-based workshops in the complicated watch segment. With a
minute repeater, monopusher chronograph, and instantaneous perpetual calendar, it presents the most
challenging degrees of difficulty with peerless perfection.
It is Patek Philippe's second Triple Complication within a short period of time. In 2008, the first was the
Ref. 5207 with a minute repeater, instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays, and
tourbillion; in 2011, the second is the Ref. 5208P with a chronograph, minute repeater, and
instantaneous calendar with aperture displays. Eagerly awaited by collectors and fans of complicated
watches, it is the manufacture’s first Triple Complication with a chronograph.
Moreover, the new Ref. 5208P is one of the very few existing highly complicated watches with a self-
winding movement. Finally, it is the first true Grand Complication that integrates silicon-derived
Silinvar® components: the revolutionary Pulsomax® escapement and the Spiromax® balance spring. As
such, it is an impressive example of how tradition and innovation interact under one roof at Patek
Philippe.

2. In the current collection of Patek Philippe’s Grand Complication wristwatches, the Ref. 5208P ranks
second, directly behind the Sky Moon Tourbillon, and before the Ref. 5207 (minute repeater, tourbillion,
perpetual calendar with aperture displays) and the Ref. 5216 (minute repeater, tourbillion, perpetual
calendar with retrograde date) and these watches are available at Finest Watches.
