The artistic depiction on the first piece is almost magical. And the purple World Time is unbeatable.

Huge thanks for the first live pictures of the marvelous limited editions for the Tokyo Exhibit, Sir! So I'm taking the liberty to add all the official info I just received from Patek to your thread, with the various press releases, technical info, etc..

It's from Hodinkee japanese twitter, I can not claim they're my pictures 😅 I will try to post my own if I go later next weekend. Thank you Sir

Thanks again, I'm likely done with editing your original post and have added further info below in reply, as it came in from Patek today.

I also took the liberty to 'promote' your entry to our Editors Picks section, a selection of our finest threads which will give it further visibility Cheers, FabR (Patek moderator)

Below please find a few more official pictures of the stunning new 5531R-014, whose enamel dial represents the historical Chuo district in Tokyo. It is a special edition of 15 for the local market! ;-)

The stunning enamel dial, representing the Chuo district (central Tokyo) A detail of the case, common to all 5531 in- and out-of-catalog editions The watch comes with two interchangeable case backs, this one in sapphire and one in R gold. They both bear t...

Great insight to the limited editions. Hopefully some of our members in Japan will be lucky to be allocated some of these !

A little more information for you on two of the most interesting Tokyo Rare Handcrafts, the twin Refs. 5089G-124 and -125, "Tsuba -- Oranges and Flowers," featuring the technique of hand-engraving!

 
By: FabR : June 10th, 2023-06:59
From Patek's original description, only lightly edited: These two limited editions of five watches each were inspired by a decoration of oranges and flowers gracing a tsuba, the hand guard on a traditional Japanese sword, dating from the mid-Nineteenth ce...  

That table clock is awesome.

If only it came in the form of a watch in white gold or something 😋 Best Gatsby

A little more info now from Patek on the amazing table clock Ref. 25014M-001, "Tokyo as the Crow Flies," a unique piece in cloisonné enamel!

 
By: FabR : June 10th, 2023-10:00
From Patek's official description: This unique piece notable for its original, exclusive design, is adorned with a stylized plan of central Tokyo, formerly Edo, in Grand Feu cloisonné enamel -- its streets, parks and lakes spilling over from the dial onto...  

WOW, I love the 6127G!!!

 
By: andrea~ : June 10th, 2023-11:48
I hope they'll offer it as a part of the permanent collection AND it's 36mm? I adore everything about it. The hands, the dial, the case, the lugs...

hopefully it goes global with other variants

 
By: andrea~ : June 11th, 2023-00:33
I really love everything about it and it would be nice to see Patek offering smaller sizes alongside the usual ~39-41mm options

I understand the wider appeal of bigger calatravas

 
By: andrea~ : June 11th, 2023-11:41
But it's unfortunate to see for us who like more traditional sizes. It seems like PP is increasing sizes year after year, without anything to fill the gap left in the midsize section. I can see myself buying the 6127 in the future. Brands are missing out ... 

Undeniably, many collectors have shown a strong preference for larger sizes during the last 10 to 15 years, and this is also the direction Patek is taking for most of its newer models, including the Calatrava collection.

I like numbers, so your reply made me look up some interesting data in response. First off, we currently have VERY few in-catalog "men's" models (defined for simplicity's sake as 5xxx- or 6xxx-references, though this is not entirely accurate) of size less... 

Thanks for the analysis!

 
By: andrea~ : June 11th, 2023-19:48
It seems like the only options are the 5230 (seeing the 40mm 5330 it's likely that this reference is getting bigger too) or a six figure masterpiece 😅

To wrap up (for now), a few more useful details and pictures on a couple of very popular Rare Handcrafts, since Patek's official site might take a while to update on this part. Let's start with the amazing Ref. 5738/50G-025, “Snow-Covered Landscape”:

 
By: FabR : June 10th, 2023-16:04
From Patek's official material, only lightly edited (I believe this hasn't been published elsewhere): Golden Ellipse wristwatch with dial in cloisonné enamel enriched with miniature painting on enamel. The decoration in Grand Feu cloisonné enamel on this ...  

As for our Dome Clocks, a lesser-known but equally important part of Patek's Rare Handcraft production, eight clocks were created to celebrate the Tokyo Exhibit --- all unique pieces! Here's for you the stunning Ref. 20140M-001, "Calligraphy":

Again from Patek's official material: Dome table clock in cloisonné enamel enriched with miniature painting on enamel This unique piece in Grand Feu cloisonné enamel pays tribute to the noble art of Japanese calligraphy, particularly the tradition of insc...
