PATEK PHILIPPE WORLD TIME MINUTE REPEATER REF. 5531R

BASELWORLD 2018

In July 2017, on the occasion of its fourth Grand Exhibition, Patek Philippe launched the world premiere of the 5531R World Time Minute Repeater, a limited series of 10 watches. Today, this model forms an integral part of the brand’s collection. It combines two grandes complications dear to Patek Philippe: the minute repeater and world time. This new timepiece presented in Baselworld boasts a world time minute repeater that always chimes the local time wherever you are, unlike other watches of this type, which chime the time in your home country.

The watch is equipped with an ultra-thin automatic self-winding mechanism, caliber R 27 HU, 462 components, 45 rubies, 21,600 vph (3 Hz), unidirectional gold mini-rotor (22k), Gyromax® balance, Spiromax® balance spring, hand guilloché Clous de Paris decoration. It has 48-hour power reserve. The 42 mm case is made of rose gold with interchangeable sapphire crystal. For the first time on a Patek Philippe minute repeater, the gongs are affixed to the case middle, not to the movement plate, resulting in incomparable acoustic quality.
