5131/1p-001
The first thing that will catch your attention when you look at this Patek Philippe watch is the beautiful Cloisonné enamel center that depicts a satellite image of the North Pole. The detail of the image is so realistic, almost three dimensional, it is like looking down on to the earth on your wrist. For the global traveler that has little time to consider the different time zones, the watch is equipped with a 24-hour and day/night indicator for the 24 time zones, and the dial even features the names of the major cities from each time zone. The mechanical self-winding movement of the caliber 240 HU is encased in 39.5mm platinum case and features a 18K gold dial plate, with a sapphire crystal case back.
Aquanaut Ref. 5168G
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Aquanaut line, Patek Philippe presents a time piece that is not more than just sporty, but one that can also deliver an impressive style of elegance and nobility. An 18K white-gold case accommodates the self-winding caliber 324 S C movement, while the blue embossed dial, gives the dial a three dimensional globe effect. The Aquanaut’s “tropical” composite strap in midnight blue accentuates the sporty nature of the watch, while Aquanaut fold-over clasp once again escalates the level of elegance offered by this special time piece.
5940R-001
The cushion shape case may be a current trend that many other brands are trying out, but none seem to offer the same level of elegance that Patek Philippe can. The ultra-thin mechanical self-winding movement of the caliber 240 Q, set in a rose gold case is elevated by the accompaniment of an Alligator strap with square scales that has been polished to a shiny chocolate brown. A unique chronograph of sorts as it features everything day, date, month, leap year and even features a moon phase.
Annual Calender Chronograph 5960/01G-001
Patek Philippe’s longstanding complicated classic that combines a self-winding chronograph with annual calendar has undergone a number of upgrades through the years since it was first introduced back in 1996. At BaselWorld 2017 the 5960 collection adds a new line up to the annual calendar time pieces, with the addition of the 5960/01G-001. The new white gold version, is adorned with calf leather straps and a blue varnished dial. The blue dial fits well with the combination of white gold case and vintage brown strap.
Calatrava “Squelette” Ref. 5180/1R
This watch is truly a tour de force that showcases the extremely rare craft of skeleton-ization and combines it with magnificently delicate engravings that enhance the elegance of the mechanism inside. The ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 is presented in such a beautiful manner that it is sure to take your breath away. The self-winding caliber 240 SQU is framed by a movement holder ring in 18K rose gold and the ring itself is also skeleton-ized down to 12 spokes that serve as hour markers. To assure total transparency, a large-format sapphire crystal glass and caseback are used, and promises water resistance to 3 bar (30 meters). A true masterpiece of design ingenuity by Patek Philippe.
