The Quartet Of Patek Philippe Watches We Hadn’t Shown You Yet

Earlier this week a rumour started spreading that Patek Philippe was about to launch the long-awaited successor to the iconic Nautilus 5711. And sure enough, this past Tuesday the Nautilus 5811G, in white gold, was presented. Slightly bigger in size, with minor aesthetic updates, this is set to continue the Nautilus legacy. But that was far from all, as the Maison released not one but eight new watches, including the luxurious Nautilus 5792 with power reserve, moonphase and date, the irresistible 5935A World Time Flyback Chronograph in stainless steel and salmon, and the stupendous 5373P Split-Seconds Monopusher Chronograph Perpetual Calendar “Destro”. With half the novelties published, there are four more to share with you, and we’ll take you through them one by one. Starting with the 5402G Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calender, followed by the Nautilus 5990 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time, then on to the Nautilus Joallerie 7118 Ladies Automatic, before ending with the Aquanaut 7968 Luce Rainbow Chronograph. 

Patek Philippe 5402G-001 Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar

We’re kicking things off with the amazing Patek Philippe 5402G-001, another complex split-seconds chronograph with a perpetual calendar. Considered one of the brand’s grande classics, the 5402 was previously available in rose gold with a chocolate brown dial, a sleek white dial or a slate grey dial. This time around it comes in a white gold case with a gorgeous olive-green sunburst dial with a subtle gradient transferring to black on the outer edge. The manually wound CHR 29-535 PS Q has traditional architecture and is capable of tracking normal time, elapsed time with a split-second chronograph, and a perpetual calendar with the date, day of the week, month, moon phase, day/night indication and leap year display. Worn on an olive green leather strap, it will set you back EUR 313,200.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990/1A-001 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time

The third Nautilus part of the 8 watches released by Patek Philippe this week, is the new 5990/10-001 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time. The complex piece was presented in rose gold last year, but the 5990 legacy started with a stainless steel model to replace the 5980/1A in 2014. The steel 5990 is now updated with a new blue dial with a sunburst finish and a subtle black gradient towards the outer periphery. Using the automatic Calibre CH 28-520 C FUS, it combines three practical implications in one; a flyback chronograph, dual time-zone and a date indication linked to local time. Worn on the familiar integrated stainless steel bracelet, now with a comfort clasp, it will retail for EUR 68,100.
