Patek Philippe World Time Minute Repeater ref. 5531R New York 2017 Special Edition

The first of these nine watches is the incredible new reference 5531, a World Time Minute Repeater New York 2017 Special Edition of which we brought you live pictures of it here. This new reference is the first Patek Philippe watch that includes a minute repeater and a World Time function. Unlike other World Time minute repeaters that acoustically indicate home time even when their owners are located at the other end of the world, the Ref. 5531 always strikes local time, which means the hour displayed by the hands from the center in that time zone represented by the city aligned with the 12 o'clock position on the dial. Its caseband is hand-guilloched with Patek Philippe’s iconic 'Clous de Paris' hobnail pattern. The case dimensions are 42 mm from 10 to 4 o'clock and 43.83 from 3 to 9 o'clock. As far as the dial, this is adorned with a cloisonné enamel motif paying tribute to New York and depicting its skyline by day and by night. The new Ref. 5531 World Time Minute Repeater New York 2017 Special Edition consists of two 5-watch versions —five with the “New York by Day” dial and five with the “New York by Night” dial. All watches have a display case back with the engraved inscription “PATEK PHILIPPE NEW YORK 2017” as well as an interchangeable back in solid rose gold with the same engraving. The watches will be exclusively sold in the US and the buyers will be approved by Mr. Thierry Stern.

Patek Philippe World Time ref. 5230G-010 New York 2017 Special Edition

Patek Philippe’s famous World Time function also takes center stage in the Ref. 5230G-010 New York 2017 Special Edition men’s wristwatch. The elegant timepiece has an 18K white gold case measuring 38.5 mm with a smooth, chamfered bezel and a dial with an opaline blue center: its embossed motif depicts the same Manhattan skyline that adorns the center of the Ref. 5531. The city disk and the 24-hour disk permanently display the time in all 24 time zones. Thanks to an exclusive patented Patek Philippe mechanism, the time zone can be adjusted at will simply by actuating the pusher at 10 o'clock. This simultaneously corrects the city disk, the 24-hour disk, and the hour hand from the center. The hour hand is delicately skeletonized and shows the silhouette of the “Southern Cross” constellation, a hallmark reserved exclusively for World Time watches. The shiny navy blue alligator leather strap is subtly color coordinated with the center of the dial. Available in a limited edition of 300 pieces.

Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot Watch Ref. 5522A New York 2017 Special Edition

Cased in stainless steel, the 42 mm grand taille Ref. 5522A Calatrava Pilot New York 2017 Special Edition features an exclusive dial reminiscent of vintage Patek Philippe aviator's watches. Its inimitable blue color recalls the livery of American fighter planes in the 1930s. The large applied Arabic numerals in white gold and the broad baton hands in blued steel have a luminescent coating that assures excellent legibility around the clock. The brown calfskin strap with contrast stitching was inspired by the harnesses paired with classic flight suits.

The ultra-thin self-winding caliber R 27 PS sounds the hours, quarter hours, and minutes on two gongs when the slide in the case flank is actuated. The navy blue alligator leather strap is secured by a white-gold prong buckle set with 26 diamonds (~0.18 ct). This irresistibly feminine grand complication comes with a sapphire crystal display case back and an interchangeable solid 18K white gold back, both with the engraved “PATEK PHILIPPE NEW YORK 2017” inscription.
