Patek Philippe Grand Complications is the Geneva maker’s collection of its most complicated watches: perpetual calendars, split-seconds chronographs, minute repeaters, tourbillons and celestial displays. Prices range from tens of thousands of dollars on the pre-owned market to several million for the Grandmaster Chime ref. 6300. These watches hold value well, which makes them some of the strongest collateral in fine watches. Borro lends up to 65% of a watch’s value, with funding in as little as one business day.

Why Grand Complications Hold Their Value
Patek Philippe, founded in Geneva in 1839, makes these movements in small numbers, often finishing and assembling them by hand over many months. Low production, strong brand demand and long-term servicing support mean that Grand Complications tend to hold value well, especially in precious metals with full box and papers.
