Complications: Introducing five new chronographs
Patek Philippe has extended its collection of complications with five new chronographs, including a split-seconds monopusher chronograph for left-handers and the first chronograph in the Aquanaut Luce ladies’ collection.
As the first chronograph for left-handers in Patek Philippe’s recent history, this highly exclusive model is powered by the manually wound caliber CHR 27-525 PS Q movement, the thinnest of its kind ever made. It distinguishes itself from the Ref. 5372 predecessor with inverted displays and operating elements.
Patek Philippe’s first self-winding ladies’ chronograph has a fascinating bezel with a rainbow array of baguette-cut diamonds and sapphires in two rows using the invisible setting technique. The engraved mother-of-pearl dial also features the entire spectrum of color sapphires on its 12 applied hour markers in rose gold.
Fitted with the manually wound caliber CHR 29-535 PS Q, its distinctive features are a white-gold case and an olive-green sunburst dial with a black gradation to the periphery. In the collection, the new classic with updated looks will complement the Ref. 5204R-011 in rose gold with a slate-gray dial and strap that was launched in 2021.
The Ref. 5935A-001 with the automatic caliber CH 28-520 HU is the very first stainless steel version of a cult model that combines two emblematic Patek Philippe complications. The “carbon” motif in the center of the dial is a concealed reference to the decor of the Ref. 6007 in a limited edition inaugural model celebrating the new PP6 manufacture building in Plan-les-Ouates in 2020.
The Ref. 5990/1A-011 is one of the rare Patek Philippe watches with steel cases. It has now been endowed with a new blue dial with a radiant sunburst finish and a subtle black gradation to the periphery. The self-winding caliber CH 28-520 C FUS movement combines three convenient and equally user-friendly complications: a flyback chronograph, a Travel Time function (two time zones with two separate hour hands; the skeletonized hand shows home time) and an analog date at 12 o'clock which is synchronized with local time.
