Description

The Patek Philippe 5373P-001 is a breathtakingly complex and sophisticated timepiece that showcases the brand’s technical mastery and attention to detail. The watch features a split-seconds chronograph, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar, making it one of the most complicated watches ever created by Patek Philippe.

The case of the 5373P-001 is made of platinum and measures 42mm in diameter. The dial is made of black enamel and features hand-engraved decorations, including a motif of vines and leaves that pays homage to the brand’s traditional craftmanship. The watch has three sub-dials, one for the chronograph functions, one for the calendar, and one for the seconds. The watch also features a moon phase indicator, which is located at the 6 o’clock position.

The split-seconds chronograph function of the 5373P-001 allows the wearer to time two events simultaneously, thanks to the use of two seconds hands. The minute repeater function allows the watch to chime the time on demand, with a complex series of hammers and gongs that create a rich and harmonious sound. The perpetual calendar function ensures that the watch always displays the correct date, even taking into account leap years, and can be adjusted using the crown.

The movement of the 5373P-001 is a true work of art, with every component finished to the highest standards. The movement is hand-wound and features a total of 456 individual components, including 34 jewels. The movement has a power reserve of 65 hours and beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
