John Mayers' new Patek Philippe

Recently, after playing a show in London, Patek Philippe presented John Mayer with what he states as a 'super-serious timepiece'. Some of you may know Mayer as a guitarist, musician and songwriter, some may not know of him at all.

However, as well as being a musician, John is also a huge watch enthusiast with an equally huge horological collection. So much so that he writes as a columnist for Hodinkee, the most widely read online wristwatch magazine in the world.

After some time looking at the Patek Philippe range I pinpointed it as a 5074R-012, part of the grand complications range, a stunningly made watch complete with minute repeater and perpetual calender. 

This particular 42mm model comes with an 18k gold dial plate, covering a 39 jewel Caliber R 27 Q automatic movement, complimented by a beautifully understated black leather strap, focusing attention upon the mesmerizing dial and sub-dials.

Watch the video below to hear John talking about his collection.
