Patek Philippe 5520P: The surprise of the Chief.
Mar 19, 2019,12:22 PM
A 42, 2 mm platinum case, 11, 6 mm high for this Alarm Travel Time from Patek. The Alarm can be set on 24 hours, and the big question is to know if it chimes like a minute repeater or not. I would say yes, but I need a confirmation.
The dial is ebony black, sunburst decoarated, with gold applied and luminous indices and hands. For once, I am quite happy to see luminous indices and hands on such a " tool watch " since it is an alarm and a travel watch.
It makes sense to be able to read the time in the night, here.
The movement is all new, the Cal AL 30-660 SC FUS.
Do you see the hammer?
I can't wait to listen to it.
The bad news? The price: 205 760 Euros.
Way much more than the direct competitor, the Ulysse Nardin Sonata.
Best,
Nicolas
