”Baselworld each year is always an exciting time for us as we unveil our new collections for the first time. In an exclusive video you’ll find me discussing the latest models, including a special anniversary piece, a new perpetual calendar, and revisited classics.”

Minute repeaters and the World Time function play a pivotal role in the portfolio of Patek Philippe’s complicated timepieces. With its chiming watches, the Genevan manufacture has defined the benchmark for decades, as evidenced by their exceptional acoustic quality, the broad range of models and variations, and the interesting combinations with other complications. Patek Philippe’s World Time watches with cloisonné enameled dials are legendary as well; they rank among the most coveted timepieces at auctions worldwide. In the Ref. 5531 World Time Minute Repeater, the engineers in Geneva merged these two complications for the first time in Patek Philippe’s history – and also in an unprecedented way: the time is always struck as indicated by the hour and minute hands for the time zone represented by the city aligned with the 12 o’clock position.
Take a look at the exciting timepieces being unveiled to the press on March 21st 2018 at Baselworld. New models include a broad selection of technical and design premières. The star is the Ref. 5531, the first World Time minute repeater that always strikes local time. It is joined by the first Nautilus with a perpetual calendar and the first Aquanaut chronograph, a new manually wound ladies’ chronograph and revisited classics that will delight connoisseurs and admirers of fine watchmaking.
