Patek Philippe Grand Complication Reference 5316/50P-001

The Grand Complication Reference 5316, launched in 2017, unites a minute repeater, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand and a moon-phase indicator. In the Grand Complication Reference 5316/50P-001, Patek Philippe gives this timepiece a unique new modern allure –with 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.

The Grand Complication Reference 5316 takes on a new contemporary look with a platinum case and a blue metallized sapphire crystal dial with a black-gradient rim.

Manually wound R TO 27 PS QR combines a minute-repeater, a tourbillon and a perpetual calendar with retrograde date display and moon-phase indication – five of the most sought-after complications among connoisseurs.

The dial of the 5316/50P-001 is made out of the sapphire crystal with blue metallization and black-gradient rim, with gold applied faceted “obus” hour markers. The original face of this new model is enhanced by a navy blue embossed calfskin strap with a fabric pattern, contrasting cream-colored stitching and a platinum fold-over clasp.

Mechanical manually wound movement. Caliber R TO 27 PS QR. Minute repeater with two classic gongs. Tourbillon. Perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand. Day, month and leap year in apertures. Moon phases. Small seconds.

The platinum case comes with interchangeable solid and sapphire crystal case backs. Humidity- and dust-protected only (not water resistant). Diameter: 40.2 mm. Height: 13.23 mm.

Calfskin, embossed with fabric pattern, hand-stitched, navy blue. Fold-over clasp.
