BaselWorld 2018: Patek Philippe Ref. 5531 Calatrava World Time Minute Repeater with new movement Cal. R 27 HU & cloisonné enamel dial (quick window shots)
Superb demonstration of craftsmanship, the new movement Cal. R 27 HU is the first minute repeater movement that always chimes the local time - certainly a highlight (no further words, just want to share some quick life pics):

Its a dream watch for me as a WT collector / lover 😀
But very expensive but maybe i have to look in my wallet a second time. Can’t wait to see it in real time on Saturday
Amazing piece. This is what Patek excels at, IMO.
World Time (a Patek strength)
Minute repeater (Patek makes some of the best, if not the best)
Cloissone dial (another Patek strength)
Unique complication? (minute repeater WT)
Gorgeous case work.
Terrific size.
Love it.
Cheers,
John
Wow. I didn't appreciate some of the ground breaking engineering here. What a result [nt]

this one is a killer piece ,
killer in two terms
-price ,any idea? my guess about 500ish (any currency
)
-MRs has zero WR even atmospheric humidity can enter into case easily which limits the everyday use of such a great piece.
otherwise an adorable piece love the clous de paris on the case
thanks for sharing it

Yes, I'm not sure we can openly discuss prices here, but your guess is entirely correct (see e.g. the Hodinkee piece for the exact price in CHF) ;-)
Best wishes.
Manufacturers Price information is OK to publish openly here
We prefer not to discuss grey market, discount store and 'fell off the back of a lorry' prices.

I was supporting you. You were complete correct exept for a small detail.
passionata,
I was supporting you and FAB5119R thus confirming that manufacturer prices CAN be mentioned here.
The small detail?
You did not have to restrict yourself.
Feel free to post the price here.

MTF
Sounds perfect, thanks for the clarification MTF :-)
Passionata you were perfectly spot on, the 5531 price has been set at 495,000 CHF. At today's rate it's roughly $521k, against a $561k sticker price for the NY limited edition, which I think makes sense given that now the piece has entered the "regular" production.

It was just an estimate,i thought a 5078gMR is 360k a 5131P 140k adding it up makes 500k ;-) [nt]

Just realised this watch is more complicated than I thought
When you glance at the pretty dial, you think: "Yeah...another miniature artwork and the well known world timer from Patek Philippe."
Then, you notice the words 'minute repeater' on the notice card....
Pretty and Complicated....that's a deep thought.
