Annual calendar with dual timezone
Complication watches showcase the pinnacle of mechanical watchmaking — perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, tourbillons, and grande complications. These are horological works of art that demonstrate a manufacturer's technical mastery and justify premium pricing through extraordinary mechanical complexity.
Evaluate the complication's usefulness (a perpetual calendar is genuinely practical; a tourbillon is purely decorative on a wristwatch), movement finishing quality, and the manufacturer's track record with the specific complication. Also consider serviceability — complex movements require specialized technicians and command higher service costs.
Complication watches are typically reserved for occasions where the wearer wants to make a statement about their appreciation of mechanical artistry. Most are too precious for daily wear and are rotated into a collection for special occasions or collecting enjoyment.
Rolex watches are notoriously difficult to purchase at retail from authorized dealers. Most popular steel sport models (Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master) have waiting lists ranging from months to years. The secondary market offers immediate availability but typically at a premium above MSRP.
