The Genevan giant is famed for possessing the highest standards in everything they do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the movements, cases, and other exterior parts, the level of attention and heart put into manufacturing these components has been a tradition since <strong>1839<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To sum it up for you, <strong>Patek Philippe<\/strong> is horological royalty, and there are absolutely no questions about it. It is therefore natural to find their time pieces on the wrists of the world\u2019s historical influencers and modern celebrities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The list ranges from <strong>Queen Victoria<\/strong>, <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong>, the <strong>Dalai Lama<\/strong>, <strong>John Mayer<\/strong> and others. But we do not admire and love the brand because they find homes on the wrists of the greats (although that\u2019s cool too), but for the fact that they pay great attention to developing their employees through ongoing training. Remember, without great people we would not have great watches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe.879c32aaa2c0.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe\">On a personal level, my favourite watches from <strong>Patek Philippe<\/strong> have always been their time only pieces like the <strong>Calatrava 5196<\/strong> collection and the <strong>Golden Ellipse<\/strong>. But sometimes, there comes a time in one\u2019s life where you aim for a challenge, aspire to greatness, or crave for something that surprises you and humbles you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You know, reminds you that there are brains and hands out there that are almost extraterrestrial. That\u2019s where <strong>Patek Philippe<\/strong>\u2019s complications come in (take a look at the <strong>Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 5740<\/strong>\u2013<strong>1G<\/strong>, for example). For the purpose of this story, I will explore three of my personal favourite pieces from <strong>2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001\">The Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar Reference 5212A-001<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon first glance at this technical beauty, one could be overwhelmed. But as the saying goes, we cannot simply judge a watch based on first impressions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>5212A<\/strong> is a joy to read after you digest the purpose of its design. The <strong>Weekly Calendar<\/strong> is exactly what its name suggests as it indicates to the lucky wearer what week it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But there is so much more; the dial is broken up neatly into the day and month. But wait, there\u2019s more! There is a very intricate detail to the typography on the dial, and that is the mimicking of handwriting. Come on, is there not a sense of something romantic about this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I learnt about this design element, it evoked a sense of nostalgia. You know, when one would handwrite postcards to send to loved ones overseas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-uno\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-uno-bjO61Jb.70dabf388f21.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-uno\">So you may be wondering, why would anyone want to know what week or month it is from a watch? I also want to add that <strong>Patek<\/strong> clearly mentions that this is true in terms of the average person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But one could also counter-argue that we do not need to wear watches to tell the time because our phones can do that. So why do we still wear them?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, we wear and collect these things for many reasons, and one of them is not to tell the time. Moving on, the <strong>5212A Weekly Calendar<\/strong> features an entirely new movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If other brands were to attempt this, I dare say that their dials may be around <strong>42 mm<\/strong> or more due to the case needing to accommodate the movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-3\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-3.3ecdb17e72d5.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-calatrava-weekly-calendar-reference-5212a-001-3\"><strong>Patek<\/strong>, being <strong>Patek<\/strong>, achieves this by elegantly packaging this complication into a very comfortably sized <strong>40mm<\/strong>. I know what you are thinking, <em>\u201calright, it\u2019s 40 mm, but I bet the thickness of this piece is 14 mm or more\u201d<\/em>. Am I right?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to inform you that the height of the watch is a mere <strong>10.79 mm<\/strong>! Furthermore, another interesting feature about this model is that the case is made of steel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I believe the design team nailed it with this one because if you are going to target this piece to the travelling businessman or woman, precious metals can be a bit well\u2026dainty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Think about it for a second. I know that it has been a while since we were all allowed to travel, but remember all the stress and anxiety involved in travelling? The last thing you want to worry about is damaging your watch.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001\">The Patek Philippe Chronograph Reference 5172G-001<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Haruki Murakami<\/strong>, a Japanese writer, wrote, and I quote, <em>\u201cUnfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As depressing as this may sound, if I had the <strong>Chronograph 5172G<\/strong> on my wrist, I would regret nothing. So, you want a complication that already exists but with a twist?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then look no further than the highly attractive <strong>Chronograph 5172G<\/strong>. Unlike the previous model, this one features everything that we love about chronographs and so much more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001-hXdnnNL.e4d6bdb756b5.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001\">Typically, when we think of sport or tool watches, we think of pieces made of steel. Something tough and handsome that can take a few beatings and still look cool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But what if you could have all of those qualities and take it up another level? The <strong>5172G<\/strong> is, as the teenagers say, <em>\u201cso extra,\u201d<\/em> that it effortlessly becomes a statement piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wearing this honestly tells those in the know that you got it because you could. More into the watch, this fusion of elegance and masculinity comes in at only <strong>41 mm<\/strong> with a height of <strong>11.45 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a decent size for a chronograph (compared to competitors), and I bet it would look amazing in most outfits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001-2-MLQWQAn.96d67d1d28f1.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-chronograph-reference-5172g-001\">In today\u2019s modern society, no one really cares that you would wear a chronograph with a suit, and something tells me that the white gold used on the case and Arabic numerals would enhance the overall elegance of the watch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the real winner here is of course the dial. As <strong>Patek<\/strong> refers to it, the varnished blue is the type of blue that invites the wearer or casual wrist observer to take a closer look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everything is balanced well on this dial, from the tachymeter scale and the hands, it all comes together like the night sky bursting with stars illuminating the fields of the countryside.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" id=\"the-patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonn%c3%a9%c2%a0enamel-reference-5231j-001\">The Patek Philippe World Time Cloisonn\u00e9\u00a0Enamel Reference 5231J-001<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember how I discussed earlier that the <strong>Weekly Calendar 5212A<\/strong> might be overwhelming at first to the uninitiated?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that the more you savour the details, the more you would understand and appreciate the piece? For our last <strong>Patek<\/strong> model, I want to introduce you to a masterpiece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Forget GMTs or Weekly Calendars; let us take a trip and delve into the horological masterpiece that is the <strong>5231J World Time<\/strong>. It is worth noting that world timers are incredibly challenging to design because it could either make or break a brand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001-fHrU8w3.108133f0e818.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001\">If the design is too cluttered or difficult to read, it can be extremely off-putting. Only a handful of brands got it right, <strong>Patek<\/strong> being one of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now not to sound like a fanboy, but if any brand could get this complication right, it\u2019s this brand, and they have been doing it since the 1940s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let us cut to the chase and talk about the winner here, the dial. Some people pay closer attention to the case, the dial, the movements, or even the typography.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" title=\"patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001-2\" src=\"\/media\/CACHE\/images\/uploads\/patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001-2.f0a3832a3489.jpg\" alt=\"patek-philippe-world-time-cloisonne-enamel-reference-5231j-001-2\">But on the <strong>5231J<\/strong>, one must respect the workmanship gone into creating the cloisonn\u00e9 enamel dial (which is entirely accomplished by hand).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Patek<\/strong> fashion, because no one does world timers like the Gevevan powerhouse, they masterfully portray <strong>Africa<\/strong>, <strong>America<\/strong>, and <strong>Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I might also add that the canvas holding this painting is an 18 K gold dial plate. Oh yes, let that and the 24 different time zones sink in!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All this comes packaged in a solid yellow gold case measuring at <strong>38.5 mm<\/strong> with a height of only <strong>10.23 mm<\/strong>. Seriously, how do they do it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(Photo credit: Horbiter\u00ae)<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 10px; height: auto; width: auto; margin: 0 auto; position: relative; display: table;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Daniel Yong @Horbiter\u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is almost ridiculous or, dare I say, brave, for one to not pay respect (and more) to Patek Philippe where it is due.
