TheMadDruid shares a second series of captivating photographs from a Patek Philippe exhibition, offering readers another glimpse into the brand's extraordinary heritage. His post highlights iconic pieces, including the Calibre 89 and watches owned by historical figures, providing a visual feast for enthusiasts who may have missed the event.
The Patek Philippe Reference 5370 is a split-seconds chronograph, a complication highly regarded in horology. It stands out in the Patek Philippe collection for its focus on a technically demanding chronograph mechanism without additional complications, presented in a classic and refined aesthetic. This reference appeals to collectors who prioritize mechanical complexity and traditional watchmaking.
The watch features a 41 mm case, available in either 18k white gold or 18k rose gold, with a polished bezel. It is equipped with the manual-winding caliber CHR 29-535 PS, a movement known for its innovative split-seconds mechanism and column-wheel control. The power reserve is approximately 65 hours. A sapphire crystal protects the dial and offers a view of the movement through the case back. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.
This reference is notable for its enamel dial, offered in black or white, which provides a depth and finish characteristic of high-end watchmaking. The 5370 appeals to collectors seeking a pure expression of a grand complication chronograph from Patek Philippe, valuing its technical execution and understated design. It represents a significant offering within the brand's complicated watch lineup.
I especially like the last one, mainly because the others (with the exception of ACs) are unobtaniums.
Thank you for the tour. HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro
I attended the London exhibition twice and on reflection should have perhaps visited it three or four times as they was so much to see! I can see your fixation with the chronos!!
It doesn't matter that you really only need one.
That's fantastic to be able to see all these reports and feel the atmoshpere. The 5960 gathering is indeed something very appealing but the diversity of historical and current pieces is amazing. Thank you! Best, Mark
Wish I had the chance to revisit. My time there was too short and much of it was spent meeting a lot of very nice PuristS which was amazing but also took my focus off the exhibition!
