The story behind it

The Graves Supercomplication remained the world's most complicated watch until Patek's own Calibre 89 arrived in 1989, a reign of 56 years. Vacheron's 57260 took eight years and three master watchmakers to build. Its 57 functions include a Hebraic perpetual calendar that follows the 19-year Metonic cycle and shows the date of Yom Kippur.
