Description

The Patek Philippe Reference 5308G-001 is presented as an exceptional Quadruple Complication timepiece, designed to be cherished by horology connoisseurs worldwide. This masterpiece is powered by the newly developed self-winding R CHR 27 PS QI caliber, wherein 799 meticulously crafted components are harmoniously arranged. Several innovations can be found within this movement, including two new patents by which energy management is optimized. The instantaneous perpetual calendar is engineered to ensure that the day, date, and month disks are transitioned within a mere 30 milliseconds across the three apertures that are elegantly arranged along an arc.

The 42mm case is crafted from entirely polished white gold and is adorned with skeletonized lugs. A captivating sunburst ice blue dial is selected for this reference, upon which blue metallized white gold applied faceted baton-style hour markers are positioned. The dial plate itself is fashioned from 18K gold, further enhancing the timepiece’s luxurious character. The aesthetic is completed by a shiny navy-blue alligator leather strap with square scales, which is secured by a white gold patented triple-blade fold-over clasp.

An impressive array of complications is offered by this refined timepiece: a minute repeater with chimes on two classic gongs, a split-seconds monopusher chronograph with 60-minute and 12-hour counters, an instantaneous perpetual calendar displaying the day, date, month, leap year, and day/night indication in apertures, as well as moon phases and small seconds. The case, measuring 17.71mm in thickness, is designed to be humidity- and dust-protected, though it is not water-resistant.

Two options for viewing the exceptional movement are provided through interchangeable solid and sapphire crystal case backs, allowing the owner to either admire the intricate mechanical artistry within or maintain the classic elegance of a solid gold caseback.
