For many years, Patek Philippe has observed a trend that has added considerable momentum to the manufacture's best traditions. It involves a stronger focus on complicated and extremely complicated timepieces and acknowledges the fact that all levels of complications have become more and more appealing to women.
Patek Philippe has never departed from the refinement and exacting standards for which it is renowned, and this Haute Horlogerie complication timepiece – Ref 5204 – with split-seconds chronograph and perpetual calendar is the proof.

The Santa Maria, Christopher Columbus’ boldest sail merchant ship, was often endearingly called the Gallant Maria by her crew. The flagship vessel, used for the explorer’s first expedition in 1492, was regal and daring. Larger than her two sisters, La Niña and La Pinta, the Santa Maria is one of the most important ships in history for what she represented – fearlessness.

A human adventure, an invitation to discover another dimension where know-how and innovation meet: the “Métiers d’Art La Symbolique des Laques” collection tells the tale of a meeting between the artists from one of the oldest Japanese lacquer houses, Zôhiko, located in Kyoto since it was founded in 1661, and the world’s oldest watch manufacturer having maintained uninterrupted production since 1755.
Dead cool? It’s a rock’n’roll rebel watch! With its playful and slightly tongue-in-cheek air, this impudent piece rebelliously thumbs its nose at anyone who takes themselves too seriously. A totally "kick-ass" watch, it wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of any number of rock stars on stage or out and about in the city.
How detailed, how complex, and how perfectly finished are DeWitt dials? The first two declinations of the Twenty-8-Eight Tourbillon gave a perfect demonstration of what DeWitt’s in-house dial-making unit is capable of releasing. But today, time has come to focus on the mechanics and to proudly and fully exhibit another segment of the Manufacture’s know-how: movement construction. Therefore, what better than a skeleton watch revealing DeWitt’s historical DW8028, the first 100% Manufacture movement?
A white- or pink-gold gown, a face lit up with diamonds, a heart whose regular beats heightens its precision... The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Jewellery watch bears witness to the virtuosity of the brand. Craftsmanship where elegance competes with technology.
A world first, a unique piece, an exceptional and incredibly rare feat. And a completely different approach was used for its creation. Unlike an Haute Joaillerie piece, where the design and technical construction are created to "emphasise and serve" stones which have already been selected, the opposite approach was adopted. The diamond cutters started with a design and then found the diamonds whxich best matched the complex construction of the case, dial and bracelet. Cutters and setters then employed all of their expertise to resize them to ensure a perfect fit.
