QUADRUPLE COMPLICATION

REF. 5308G-001

When the platinum 5308P-010 made its global debut at Patek Philippe’s Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Tokyo in 2023, it was a statement that the manufacture could push the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking further. Now, the reference enters the current collection in white gold.

It unites four grand complications — a minute repeater, split-seconds chronograph, instantaneous perpetual calendar, and moon phase display — into a single self-winding movement.

The 42mm white gold case ensconces a truly handsome ice-blue sunburst dial. Inside, the sapphire caseback reveals the caliber R CHR 27 PS QI movement of 799 components.The dense platinum micro-rotor ensures efficient winding despite the movement's voracious energy demands.

The split-seconds chronograph incorporates two patented mechanisms: an anti-backlash clutch wheel to eliminate friction and an isolator that prevents the stopped split hand from draining power. Sliding the actuator at 9 o'clock activates the minute repeater, striking the hours, quarters, and minutes with a clarity that only decades of acoustic refinement can muster.

The perpetual calendar, instantaneous in its transitions, is no less impressive. Day, date, month, and leap year appear in apertures, each snapping into place in a flawless 30-millisecond jump — a marvel that requires 220 parts alone.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR RETROGRADE

DATE REF. 6159G-001

This striking modern interpretation reimagines Patek Philippe’s ever-popular perpetual calendar with retrograde date. Encased in 39.5mm of polished white gold, the watch features a distinctive hobnail-pattern guilloche bezel — a signature Patek Philippe motif.
