Patek Philippe’s Trio of Complications



Few brands have the entire replica watches for sale industry on edge, eagerly awaiting releases like Patek Philippe. With the embargo set to end a second later than scheduled, the world begins to refresh and the fun begins. This year’s Watches & Wonders was no exception, with Patek Philippe fans treated to some stunning new pieces and new versions of classics. Let’s take a look at three pieces that really set the internet on fire.

5205R Annual Calendar Moon Phase
First introduced in 2010, the 5205 is made in white gold with a classic calendar window layout at 10, 12, and 2 o’clock, showing the day of the week, date, and month. The 2022 model is made in rose gold with a stylish olive green dial. One has to pick up the watch to fully appreciate the beauty of the dial, and I had the pleasure of doing so this morning. The dial features what Patek Philippe calls a sunburst pattern that fades to black around the edges. Like a great “Where Did the Time Go?” movie or a fun night out with friends, you barely notice the change in hue when the green turns to black, but it is true.

The rose gold case measures 40mm in diameter and features an elegant concave bezel that compliments the watch’s sleek lines. The lugs are skeletonized, and as one would expect, the case finish is exquisite. Turning the high quality replica watches over reveals the caliber 324 S QA LU 24H/206 movement through the sapphire caseback. The movement is an annual calendar, meaning it only needs to be adjusted once a year at the end of February, as the movement can tell the difference between months with 30 and 31 days for all other months. This watch is also an instantaneous annual calendar, with the date change occurring exactly at midnight, so you can be sure it’s accurate.

The lower half of the dial of the 5205 also features some nice touches, such as a 24-hour indicator, which is very useful when setting the calendar, and a moon phase window. Patek Philippe introduced the annual calendar in 1996. The brand recognised that there was a huge gap between date watches that needed to be reset monthly and the high calibre of perpetual calendars, and the annual calendar was the perfect transition between the two.

5270P Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
For a comprehensive history of the iconic Patek Philippe 5270, I recommend checking out Wei Koh’s article here. This year, Patek Philippe introduced a new green dial for its platinum perpetual calendar. Green really seems to be taking off in watch design right now, and there’s perhaps no more beautiful interpretation than this. As with the aforementioned 5205R, the photos (albeit fantastic ones) don’t do the dial justice – this is another watch that comes to life in your hand. replica Jacob and Co. Bugatti Chiron

The dial has multiple layers of lacquer, giving the watch real depth and a more pronounced gradient effect, with the outer edge being black. Putting the two watches together, this and the olive dial 5205R, I can actually see the olive in the gradient… but I digress! Interestingly, like the earlier 5270 series, this new dial lacks the chronograph tachymeter scale.

The signature diamond sits between the lower lugs, indicating that the watch is in platinum, and the 5270 styling cues we know and love are present and correct. The upper half of the dial shows the day and month, while the lower half displays the circular date, moon phase, leap year indicator, and day/night indicator. The 30-minute counter on the right is the instantaneous chronograph counter, and there is a running seconds subdial on the left. replica richard mille

5231G World Time
The dial of the new Patek Philippe World Time in white gold is made by Rare Handcrafts. Ever since Louis Cottier invented the World Time mechanism in the 1930s, Patek Philippe has adorned its World Time watches with Grand Feu cloisonné enamel maps. These maps are highly collectible and always a highlight when they appear at auction. In 2022, Patek Philippe pays tribute to Southeast Asia and Oceania on the dial. The dial is stunning, especially when you hold it up to the light – the artisan nature of this piece is simply incredible.

To set the local time, simply press the button at 10 o’clock until the red indicator at 12 o’clock points to the relevant city. The hour hand jumps accordingly, allowing globetrotters to quickly and easily set international times. A 24-hour day/night indicator ring further reduces the confusion that comes with travel. Patek Philippe reintroduced the modern complication in 2000 with the 5110, a reference reserved for watches with cloisonné enamel dials. The white gold case measures 38.5 mm and features a sapphire caseback that offers a glimpse of the 240 HU movement.
