Good evening everyone.
This time, we have "that" Grand Complication model in stock for the first time in a long time, with a special combination of different materials and dials! Don't miss it! Be sure to read until the end!
"Ref.5204R-001"
"Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronograph" 18KRG
The Perpetual Calendar Split-Second Chronograph "Ref. 5204R-001" was announced at Baselworld 2016.
This commemorative model is the first in the "Ref. 5204" series to feature an 18KRG (rose gold) case. The classic silver opaline dial, combined with gold applied indexes, creates a very elegant and sophisticated look.
This watch, which was discontinued in 2020, just four years after its release, is a beautiful piece with a silver opaline dial that is simple yet classic in its appeal.
The dial layout is a familiar, complete design, with a small calendar window displaying the day and month at the 12 o'clock position, a leap year display between 4 and 5 o'clock in numbers, and a day/night indicator in white and blue between 7 and 8 o'clock. The moon phase at 6 o'clock has a hollowed-out bottom, but despite the complex display, the overall balance is excellent, and both the layout and dial design give the impression of high perfection.
Here, I would like to introduce some of the "Ref. 5204" series.
The "Ref. 5204P-001" was released in 2012 and features a PT (platinum) case and silver dial.
This model is equipped with the Caliber CHR 29-535 PS Q, a horizontal clutch, split-seconds hand chronograph movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house. This movement is based on the in-house hand-wound chronograph featured in the Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5270, released in 2011, with the addition of a split-seconds hand (rattrapante) mechanism.
The only current model on sale is the "Ref. 5204G-001," which features a beautiful olive green soleil dial.
This is the first time in the "Ref. 5204" series that it has been fitted with an 18KWG (white gold) case, and was released in 2022. We currently have it in stock, so if you're interested, please check it out.
Let's return to the "Ref. 5204R-001" we are introducing this time.
With a case diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 14.3mm, it has a striking size, and the crown with split button makes an impact, and the design is so well-finished that it is flawless from any angle. Personally, I particularly like this shot from this angle.
The movement, visible through the skeleton case back, is the "Cal. CH 29-535 PS Q," which was developed and manufactured entirely in-house. Every single part is meticulously finished, giving a strong sense of Patek Philippe's long tradition and high level of technical expertise. I know I've said this many times, but this is a watch of truly breathtaking beauty that draws you in just by looking at it.
The warranty date is December 2017. The watch was overhauled and refinished by the manufacturer in May 2023, and is in excellent condition. It also comes complete with accessories, including a luxurious leather pass case for storing warranty documents, an additional closed case back, a setting pin for adjusting the calendar, and a practical box for storing all of these items.
The selling price is 28,600,000 yen (tax included)
