Patek Philippe 52.70 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
Patek Philippe released the original reference. The 5270 watch from 2011, which we covered here. I'm usually not a major fan of Patek Philippe watches, but this model did it for me on every level. I would say that if I had to choose anything in the Patek Philippe watch collection it would be some version of the Patek Philippe 52.7M Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. Its simple, straightforward appearance can be deceiving once you learn that Patek Philippe includes this model in its "Grand Complication" collection. While that label primarily refers to the sophistication of the movement, it also means that this type of model won't be available at retail, as they are inherently hard to come by. While standard Patek Philippe watches may be common, Grand Complication models of this type are a favorite among collectors.
So let's take a look at the three new Patek Philippe 5270 watches (one of which is the 5271) that was launched in 2014. The term "grand complication" has no real definition, but I mainly use it to refer to watches whose movements combine a chronograph, perpetual calendar, and minute repeater. This timepiece lacks the latter, so I'm not sure what you'd call it, but if Patek Philippe wanted to call it a "grand complication," no one would stop them. What makes me really fall in love with the Patek Philippe 5270 collection is the size, case and dial design, and the super legibility that Patek Philippe excels at when I actually try it, given the dial layout decisions and the combination of materials.swiss automatic watches
At 41mm wide, this is one of the larger "classic looks" of Patek Philippe watches. Most of the other watches of the same type in the Patek Philippe collection are more historic, smaller in size and less than 40mm wide. This is the first "modern size" classic-looking Patek Philippe watch I've got my eye on, and I love how it feels on my wrist. As a fashion style watch, it looks really cute and doesn't feel too small on the wrist, considering my tastes. I think Patek Philippe has found a sweet spot here for classic watch lovers who usually find Patek Philippe timepieces not exciting or modern enough.
The first Patek Philippe 5270 (5270G) from 2011 had a silver dial with black oxidized gold hands and indexes that were very cool. These two 2014 5270G and 5271 models use more traditional white gold hour markers and hands, but the legibility of the dial is still very good. For example, Patek Philippe uses a clever finish on the hands that is neither fully polished nor fully satin. What you get is a strong contrast with the white gold, even on the white dial. Small details like these are the reason why people often rave about Patek Philippe timepieces, as these types of small details are a major part of the secret to high-end timepieces.
Check out the dials of the Patek Philippe 5270 and 5271 watches and you'll find similar improvements. While Patek Philippe has been researching materials and perfecting small elements over the years, you will see a high level of sophistication accumulated in the layout of dials and information. Here, a 12-hour chronograph and a perpetual calendar with moon phases coexist in harmony. To balance the window between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock to indicate the leap year cycle, Patek Philippe has an adjacent window between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock, which serves as a day/night (AM/PM) indicator. Not only does this add extra complexity, but it creates a welcome symmetry in the dial design.Jacob & Co. Astronomia Solar
Patek Philippe also continued to use peripheral dial scales, such as the tachymeter used in the 5270. No one uses this feature (in conjunction with a chronograph to measure the speed of moving objects), but you can consider it still a useful relic of the past that gave dials a sense of space and visual interest. Patek Philippe and similar brands care about the balance of dial design not only in symmetry, but also in the placement of items. A watch face should never feel like there is too much in one area and too much white space in others. Patek Philippe is very good at ensuring that this harmony exists in the design of the dial.
The two 2014 Patek Philippe 5270G models are in 18k white gold, while the 5271P is in platinum. The white dial is Patek Philippe 5270G-013 and the blue dial is 5270G-014. No other gold versions of the Patek Philippe 5270 have been released. I'm not entirely sure why the 5271 has a different name, but I can only assume it's because it has a lot of diamond embellishments. While mechanical watch purists generally have little interest in diamonds, Patek Philippe has a strong presence in countries where many customers are interested in the diamond decoration of their timepieces. Therefore, the platinum case of the Patek Philippe 5271P-001 and the 58 baguette-cut diamonds (approximately 3.63 carats) on the bezel and lugs make it particularly attractive to some customers.discount replica watch
The three watches share the same movement, the CH 29-535 PS Q movement independently designed by Patek Philippe. Hand-wound with 65 hours of power reserve, perfect for a reserve indicator if powered (for example, on the rear of the movement). Even without the power reserve indicator, the CH 29-535 PS Q is a very lovely mechanism, thankfully visible through the sapphire crystal rear window on the back of the watch.
Being a modern Patek Philippe movement, it has features like a Gyromax balance wheel (it's actually not that new), but it lacks some of the interesting Spiromax silicon parts that other new Patek Philippe watches have. It's an intentional decision, as brands like Patek Philippe are still on the fence about what they want to do with silicon parts. While there are many clear performance advantages to using silicon components in mechanical movements, there has been debate over how easy it will be to manufacture silicon components in the future and how long they will last. Some purists even argue that silicon parts have no place in "traditional" mechanical watch movements.
Running at 4Hz (28,800 bph), the movement is beautifully handcrafted to satisfy even the most discerning replica watches for men movement snob. The movement is made of 456 parts. Its execution is pure classic without any frills or edgy design elements. It's the purest form of conservatism in Swiss timepieces, and it's exactly what we've come to expect from Patek Philippe.
The decorative elements on a Patek Philippe 5270 or 5271 case are small but present. Note, for example, the slightly flared lugs that characterize the overall design. There are also more sporty rectangular and circular chronograph pushers. Patek Philippe has also made sure to give the 18k yellow gold or platinum a creamy colour rather than a mirror polished finish to ensure an elegant and decorative look on the wrist. Attached to the Patek Philippe 5270 and 5271 watches is a black alligator leather strap with a Patek Philippe logo buckle on the unfolding clasp. Do not swim with them as these cases are only water resistant to 30 meters.
For many watch lovers, timepieces like the Patek Philippe 5270G or 5271P represent the high point of design and taste. For others, they represent a tasteful history that feels dull today, given the more advanced designs of other brands. Having said that, no one enters a Patek Philippe store looking for anything avant-garde or artistic. Having one of those is buying history, you invest in a timeless design that will still appeal to a lot of people long after you're dead - it really fits the Patek Philippe theme. Understanding Patek Philippe as a brand is the starting point for helping people understand watches like the Patek Philippe 5270. That said, with its more modern 41mm wide case size and lovely looks, if you own a Patek Philippe watch, it's one of the top Patek Philippe timepieces today.brm gulf watches
