Philip Barat, Head of Watch Development at Patek Philippe, presents the technical and aesthetic facets of this grand complication watch.
The Ref. 5531R in rose gold, that was unveiled at Baselworld 2018, is the world’s first World Time minute repeater that always strikes local time. All other minute repeaters with 24 time zones systematically strike home time even if they and their owners are far away from home.
The new self-winding caliber R 27 HU movement was developed expressly for this peerless timepiece. Patent applications have been filed for its innovative design and novel components.
