Catalogue Essay
It took Patek Philippe's watchmakers four years to research and develop this complex timepiece. Only 175 examples were produced, with the platinum case and dial engraved in a floral scroll motif. The motif elegantly adorns the otherwise empty dial and extends to the case sides and clasp.
The innovative cal. 32-650 HGS PS represented a remarkable feat of technology. The jumping hour mechanism required intricate power and energy management to synchronize the functions. Four new patents were introduced, three for the jumping mechanism and one isolating the hour striking. As a result, the seconds, minutes and digital hour all advance instantaneously rather than continuously.
While the ref. 3969 was traditionally sized, the ref. 5275P makes a bolder statement at 40mm diameter and 47.5mm lug to lug. Connoisseurs particularly appreciate its loud, crisp chime synchronized precisely to the time.
Fresh-to-market, this ref. 5275P exemplifies Patek Philippe's taste, technical mastery, and incredible rarity, representing the pinnacle of fine watchmaking.
