Due to be auctioned by Sotheby’s during the fall season, the Henry Graves supercomplication by Patek Philippe comes as a late addition to an exclusive list of highly complicated timepieces, the “Graves” being considered as the most important watch in the world.

Excellence, innovation and watchmaking expertise were duly rewarded on this Friday October 31st in the Grand Théâtre de Genève, on the occasion of the 14th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) prize-giving ceremony. The international jury of this edition 2014 of the GPHG handed out 16 prizes, including the supreme “Aiguille d’Or”, distinction, awarded to Breguet for the Classic Chronométrie model. This prize was officially presented on-stage by the Federal Councillor Johann Schneider-Ammann, who praised the vitality of the Swiss watch industry.

It took many attempts, but we finally got an appointment with Count Dracula. He spoke freely of his passion for watchmaking and the new HYT H1, which bears his name.
