Okay, here’s my sharing about the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5320G-011:
Alright, let’s talk about this Patek Philippe watch I’ve been messing around with, the 5320G-011. You know, it’s one of those fancy “Grand Complications” pieces. First off, I started by checking out what makes this thing tick, no pun intended. I got this one.
So, this watch has a white gold case, 40mm, which feels pretty good on the wrist. It’s got this rose-gilt opaline dial that looks classy. They put in a brown alligator strap which matches the rose-gilt opaline dial. That’s neat. I went ahead and tried it on. Feels premium, as it should.
Next, I dug into the features. It’s got a perpetual calendar, which means it knows the date, day, month, leap year. Seriously, who needs to remember that stuff anyway? This watch does it all for you. Also, It’s self-winding, so no need to manually wind it up all the time. Just wear it, and it keeps on ticking. I wore it around for a few days, and the calendar was spot on. Pretty cool.
The real kicker with this thing is the moon phase. This is what they call “accurate”. And they say it only needs a one-day correction every 122 years. I mean, I probably won’t be around to check that, but it sounds impressive, right? I observed the moon phase for a while, and it seemed to match up with what I saw in the sky.

Here’s what I really liked about it:
- It’s easy to read. Everything is laid out nicely, so you can see the date and everything without squinting.
- It feels solid and well-made. You can tell it’s a quality piece just by holding it.
- The whole perpetual calendar thing is just mind-blowing. It’s like having a tiny computer on your wrist.
But I’ll be honest. It is not all perfect. I’ll be honest about the price. They are not cheap. But hey, you’re paying for some serious craftsmanship and a whole lot of history. Also, you get that “Grand Complications” label. That’s gotta count for something, right?
My Two Cents
If you’re into high-end watches and you’ve got the cash, the Patek Philippe 5320G-011 is a solid choice. It’s a classic design with some really cool complications. And the moon phase thing? That’s just the icing on the cake. It is “a paragon of visual balance and legibility” as someone said, which is true. Anyway, that’s my experience with this Patek Philippe. Hope it was helpful!
