Quadruple Complication 42mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 42 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Quadruple Complication 42mm measures 52.1 mm lug-to-lug on a 42 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.24 against a database median of 1.18. That span is longer than 95% of the 7,421 watches in this database and longer than 97% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 58 mm (2.28 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 70 mm (2.76 in) it starts to look compact. Below 52.1 mm (2.05 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 17.71 mm thick it is on the thicker side, thicker than 99% of the watches with a listed thickness.
