Patek Philippe presents a new platinum version (5316/50P-001) of its Reference 5316 Grand Complication watch.
Introduced in 2017 with an updated design, the Reference 5316 unites a minute repeater, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand and a moon-phase indicator. The first model of this series (reference 5316P-001) features a platinum case and black enamel dial.
Unveiled at the Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023, the new Patek Philippe Grand Complication Reference 5316/50P-001 has a platinum case and a sapphire-crystal dial with blue metallization and black-gradient rim, affording a veiled glimpse of the mechanical heart of the watch.
Beating inside the Reference 5316 Grand Complication is the hand-wound mechanical calibre Caliber R TO 27 PS QR.
