Patek Philippe Complications 5172G-010

Patek Philippe enhances the vintage character of this much-admired model - a favourite among connoisseurs of fine mechanical watchmaking - by introducing an opaline rose-gilt dial. Excellent legibility, both by day and night, is ensured by applied Arabic numerals and syringe-style hour and minute hands crafted in gold with an anthracite finish and white luminescent coating. A small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock completes the balanced layout.

At the heart of the watch lies the CH 29-535 PS chronograph calibre, renowned for its traditional architecture and six patented innovations. These include an optimised tooth profile, precise adjustment of engagement depth, and self-regulating zero-resetting hammers - all designed to enhance functionality and performance. The movement also incorporates several other technical refinements, all meticulously finished and visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back.
