In terms of development time, it manages to beat the Lange Grand Complication. It took a total of five years to put together a sample of the Vacheron Constantin Les Cabineturiers Celestia. Because it involves not just one but 23 major complications. A tribute to the merging of astronomical precision, artistry and engineering as few watches can do. Features include a sky map, solar and lunar cycles, and tidal indicator, all housed ingeniously within a slim 8.7mm case. It’s basically a constellation on your wrist.

3. Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Ultra Complication Universelle
You would think this is the most complicated watch Audemars Piguet There will be a Royal Oak, but you would be wrong. The Le Brassus-born watchmaker chose the simple round shape of the Code.11.59 to package some of its most intricate complications. A minute repeater, a split-second chronograph, a perpetual calendar – a grand complication in the Universelle, all standard features of a Halo watch. But it is much more than that. The perpetual calendar complements the 400-year cycle while the watch’s 1000 caliber also manages to accommodate a lunar phase. The most notable aspect is that, as far as major complications are concerned, it is the most user-friendly of them all, if not pocket-friendly.
Price: Rs 15.7 crore (except taxes)
