Patek Philippe Grand Complication in Platinum, Reference 5316P-001
Patek Philippe presents a redesigned version of its famous Grand Complication in platinum (reference 5316P-001) with a minute repeater, a tourbillon, and a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date. It sports a new case design with a two-tier bezel and lugs as well as a black enamel dial with an aperture for the enamel lunar disk.
The movement powering this Patek Philippe grand complication timepiece in platinum is the Caliber R TO 27 PS QR. The aperture at 12 o’ clock displays leap year. The windows at 3 o’ clock and 9 o’ clock respectively indicate month and day of the week. The retrograde date is indicated by an unusual hand with a diamond-shaped tip.
The sub-dial at 6 o’ clock incorporates small seconds function and moon phases. It also spotlights the inscription “TOURBILLON” to indicate the presence of one of the most spectacular horological complications. The minute repeater can be activated by a slide piece.
