Regarded as the master of the complication, Patek Philippe introduced the ref. 5320G-001 at the Baselworld 2017 marking a new era and an entirely new perpetual calendar reference. As the pioneers of the perpetual calendar wristwatch, Patek Philippe was the very first to introduce such feature in 1925, however it was not until the 1940s when the firm released their very first serially produced perpetual calendar wristwatch with an additional chronograph complication via the legendary ref. 1518. Only a year later, Patek Philippe released the perpetual calendar only ref. 1526. With that said, their reign of being the absolute king of perpetual calendars lasted far beyond that. In 1962, Patek Philippe stunned the world with another groundbreaking release of the ref. 3448, the world’s first self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch, which was at that time the only self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch available in the market for over 16 years.

Taking inspiration from its ancestral greats, the ref. 5320G-001 exudes a strong vintage appeal with modern practicalities. First feature one may notice is the “ivory” lacquered dial that resembles the creamy patina sometimes witnessed on vintage Patek Philippe timepieces due to ageing. Secondly, the Arabic numerals are reminiscent of the coveted ref. 1518, modernized with applied luminous material to give the wearer better legibility. Furthermore, one may notice the extremely fancy three-tiered stepped lugs that are most certainly art deco inspired as well as paying its similarities to the chronometer ref. 2405 from the 1940s.

Extremely well-executed with aesthetics perfectly in-line with the contemporary taste of collectors seeking for a touch of vintage. The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5320G-001 is offered in excellent overall condition only worn a handful of times with a Certificate of Origin dated this year. Complete with the full set of accessories, the present timepiece is with no doubt one of the most undervalued contemporary Patek Philippe timepieces available in the market.
