Patek Philippe adds three more masterpieces of timepieces to the Grand Complications series: the first Ref. 5303 minute repeater whose striking mechanism can be appreciated through the dial; a reinterpretation of the legendary The Ref. 5370 split-seconds chronograph watch; and the classic Ref. 5270 perpetual calendar chronograph watch, once again demonstrating Patek Philippe’s unparalleled craftsmanship in the field of fine watchmaking. These three timepieces are examples of the ingenious fusion of tradition and innovation, with exquisite appearance and exquisite details, adding to Patek Philippe’s star-studded super complex function series.
Ref. 5303R-001 minute repeater watch
Presenting the ultimate audio-visual feast
Ref. 5303 made its debut at the “Singapore Watch Art Exhibition 2019” and is limited to 12 pieces. Today, the Ref. 5303 minute repeater tourbillon watch has been slightly improved and has become a member of Patek Philippe’s regular series. This new super complication watch adopts a unique open dial structure and will definitely be favored by time watch enthusiasts. This is the first time that the wearer can have a clear view of the minute repeater mechanism, including the hammers and gongs, without taking off the watch. As a result, Patek Philippe’s always customer-oriented research and development philosophy is further highlighted. The hollow part of the watch also extends to the tourbillon: below the small seconds dial at 6 o’clock, you can see the back of the tourbillon cage. In this exquisite construction, fine-wired steel components shine against a rose gold-plated main plate.

Blue Grand Feu enamel dial gets a new look
In addition to minute repeaters and tourbillon watches, Patek Philippe’s super complex watches naturally include a split-second chronograph (movement number: 124’824). Since 1923, this complex timepiece has been the highlight of Patek Philippe’s watch collection. In 2015, Patek Philippe launched the first split-seconds chronograph Ref. 5370, equipped with the exclusive patented CHR 29-535 PS movement, with a platinum case and a black enamel dial. This super complex watch loved by watch fans has a new look this year, reinterpreting Patek Philippe’s famous Grand Feu enamel dial in blue and glossy treatments. The new dial uses a hand-decorated 18K gold dial base plate, which is rich in color and unique. The clear and easy-to-read dial can be described as a precision instrument that combines advanced technology with individual charm. The hour and minute scales are paired with slender leaf-shaped hands covered with fluorescent coating, and three-dimensional Breguet numerals made of white gold. The short-time timing results are not only clear at a glance, but also have the same accuracy and speed: the central chronograph seconds hand and split-seconds chronograph hands, as well as the 30-minute instantaneous cumulative chronograph hand, are particularly bright against the blue dial and white transfer scale.

New gold style interprets classic masterpieces
Ref. 5270 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph was born in 2018. It follows the legendary timepiece (Ref. 1518) released by Patek Philippe in 1941. The platinum model uses a white gold-plated dial, and the rose gold model uses a gold “goutte” style bracelet. This year, as a regular series of super complex function watches, Patek Philippe launches the Ref. 5270 gold model for the first time. This classic and timeless timepiece masterpiece combines a concave bezel and double-layer lugs to show its elegance. White dial with gold material The three-dimensional baton hour markers and leaf-shaped hands ensure clear and easy reading. The perpetual calendar display layout is cleverly balanced, with an analog date display at 6 o’clock and side-by-side dual display windows for the day and month at 12 o’clock. In addition, there are two small circular windows that indicate day/night and leap year cycles respectively, paired with a typical moon phase window.
