Patek Philippe 2023 Tokyo Limited Edition Quadruple Complications Watch

Patek Philippe 5308P-010 2023 Tokyo Limited Edition Quadruple Complications Watch

Patek Philippe launched the 5308P-010 2023 Tokyo Limited Edition Quadruple Complication high quality cheap watches for the 2023 Tokyo Watch Art Exhibition.

Patek Philippe PATEK PHILIPPE No. 5308P-010 The new self-winding timepiece debuted at the 2023 Tokyo Watch Art Exhibition. The watch is a limited edition, with a total of 15 pieces. It integrates the functions of minute repeater, split-second chronograph and instantaneous perpetual calendar. Undoubtedly a feat of miniaturization and power management, this timepiece incorporates a quadruple complication; it is housed in the R CHR 27 PS QI caliber and its performance is even more perfect. The watch is paired with a platinum case and hollow lugs, setting off the opalescent rose gold surface, and it comes out with an elegant attitude.

In 2008, Patek Philippe launched the latest model of its regular timepiece series, presenting the number 5207 watch, which has repeatedly affirmed the brand's peak attainments in top-level functions. The watch is uniquely groundbreaking, combining the minute repeater function, tourbillon and instantaneous perpetual calendar display window display, and the innovative concept in it has won two patents (R TO 27 PS QI movement). The design of the whole watch is full of modern feeling, and the elegant style reveals the sporty atmosphere. It is the first conventionally produced top-level complex function watch for daily wear.

In 2011, the watchmaker brought another outstanding timepiece: the reference 5208 self-winding luxury cheap Watches, which combines functions such as minute repeater, single-button chronograph seconds and instantaneous perpetual calendar display window display. It was the brand's first triple complication watch incorporating a chronograph, and it was also one of the rare supercomplication timepieces with self-winding. In order for all functions of the R CH 27 PS QI movement to operate precisely and reliably, the engineering team had to innovate, and this is why the above-mentioned chronograph seconds device is placed between the basic movement and the perpetual calendar module-making the movement extraordinarily precise.

From triple complication to quadruple functional level

The opalescent rose gold dial is decorated with charcoal gray platinum baton-style three-dimensional hour markers and platinum royal faceted hands, as well as a steel two-hand chronograph second hand, bringing out the retro atmosphere of the watch.

 Patek Philippe has repeatedly broken the boundaries of horological art and added a powerful timekeeping function to this timepiece: a split-seconds chronograph device. This device is extraordinary, and it is as famous as the minute repeater and the tourbillon device, which can be called the three complex timepiece functions that are difficult to perfect. It emphasizes a fairly sophisticated operating system, which is used to control the second central chronograph second hand, stop it to measure the middle period of time (or store a reference time), and then let it go back to another big three hand in an instant. Those overlapping as one, continuous operation. The reference 5308 watch is sincerely designed for those who love beautiful devices. It combines four complex functions, such as the minute repeater and the instantaneous perpetual calendar, which have long been classified as top-level complex functions.

The performance of the new movement is more perfect

The instantaneous perpetual calendar is displayed in different windows on the face plate. The window at 12 o'clock displays the date, the window between 1 and 2 o'clock displays the month, and the window between 10 and 11 o'clock displays the week. The split-seconds chronograph device consumes a lot of energy. It is a big challenge for the brand's engineers to incorporate the device into the watch. Especially in response to the size of the case design this time, the new movement must be compact in size to minimize the extra thickness. The engineering team finally achieved the task: Although the new R CHR 27 PS QI movement added 80 parts (the total number of parts is 799, the R CH 27 PS QI movement is 719 pieces), the diameter increased by only 4 mm (32 mm, compared to the previous 28mm), and 1.93mm thicker (12.28mm, compared to the previous 10.35mm).replica watches on sale

The power consumed by the split-seconds second hand is the same as that of the junior second hand. In order to fully integrate it into the movement, the designer decided to improve the performance of the movement from different levels. The mainspring is made of a more solid material, with thicker strips and a smaller arbor, which increases the mainspring’s torque, length of mainspring, number of windings and power reserve (minimum 38 hours with chronograph stopped , up to 48 hours) remain unchanged. Increase the torque of the mainspring to manage the split-second chronograph device, which will produce a chain reaction during operation. Therefore, the inertia of the balance wheel must be increased to avoid "collision" situations (the balance wheel is too high and the escapement is impacted). Make sure the rate is relatively stable. Hereby, the brand discarded the 22K gold side-mounted mini-oscillating weight, and used a platinum mini-oscillating rotor-this metal is of high quality, which is enough to increase the winding power, so that the new mainspring can be smoothly rewound.

The latest patented system eliminates the friction of the chronograph seconds gear

In order to reduce power consumption, the designer turned his attention to the double-second split-second timing device, developed two innovative designs, and applied for a patent for this. The first design concerned the clutch system. In the chronograph seconds device using a lateral clutch, the seconds gear and the chronograph seconds gear (equipped with a third hand) are connected by a clutch gear; the clutch gear is activated by a clutch lever. Under normal circumstances, the chronograph second gear is equipped with a friction brake spring lever, which is used to produce a slight braking effect and prevent the third hand from shaking; it just consumes power.

Patek Philippe has adopted an innovative system against backlash, instead of the usual clutch gears with classic teeth, thereby eliminating friction. Manufactured using LIGA techniques (lithography, electroforming and moulding), this nickel-phosphorus alloy part has an avant-garde geometry with long, forked teeth; each tooth is equipped with a small leaf spring 18 microns thick, allowing The teeth of the chronograph second gear are clamped to eliminate the risk of the third hand shaking, and no adjustment is required. This design combines traditional and innovative elements, reflecting the spirit of Patek Philippe watchmaking. The above principle is reminiscent of the launch of a patented gear system against backlash in 2019, specially designed for the 26-330 new self-winding basic movement (the movement is paired with the Calatrava reference 5212A-001 weekly calendar replica watches swiss. ). However, the rack and leaf spring of this patented part have been redesigned so that it can be fully used with the lateral clutch chronograph device, so that it can perform and operate reliably.

The latest patented split-seconds stopper device

There are 60-minute and 12-hour counters at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the dial, and a small second hand and a moon phase display at 6 o'clock. The leap year and day and night displays are set at 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock through circular windows. Location. The second patented innovation is designed for the split-seconds chronograph and is incorporated below the chronograph seconds module. In a normal split-seconds chronograph, the split-seconds lever will continue to move along the chronograph seconds heart when the split-seconds second hand stops (the split-seconds clamp is closed) to read the middle of the time . This action creates friction and consumes power. Patek Philippe has developed a new operating system with a stopper device to lift the lever and separate it from the chronograph seconds gear set. This system can avoid affecting the swing of the balance wheel when the split-seconds gear set stops, without affecting the reliability of the movement, and even the power reserve of the movement when the chronograph function is activated.

As early as 2012 and 2015, Patek Philippe was the CHR 29-535 PS Q hand-wound movement (number 5204 split-second chronograph and perpetual calendar watch) and the CHR 29-535 PS movement ( No. 5370 split-seconds chronograph) designed a similar system to block the split-seconds lever. However, in the new timepiece No. 5308P-010, the movement adopts the mode of operation of the concentric double-lever barrier, hereby redesigning the whole system design and making the device thicker.

Single pusher split-seconds chronograph

The single-button split-seconds chronograph device is equipped with a column wheel and a lateral clutch, and the movement structure is very slim. The device is equipped with 60-minute and 12-hour counters, located at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock on the surface, respectively. A single pusher is located at 2 o'clock on the side of the watch, which starts, stops and resets the zero-return function (three-stage chronograph seconds function) in succession. The pusher at 4 o'clock is used to operate the split-seconds chronograph function, which itself is equipped with a column wheel. Press this button once, the split-seconds chronograph second hand will stop; press the button again, the split-seconds chronograph second hand will restart and recover another big three hands. When the central chronograph second hand is running, the watch owner can repeat the procedure of stopping and starting the double-second chronograph second hand as many times as required. At the end of the timing, the watch owner presses the button at 2 o'clock, and the two hands will stop running and return to zero together.https://www.reviewluxurystore.com

Double gong minute repeater

The classic double gong minute repeater device brings legendary sound quality to Patek Philippe chiming timepieces. Such top-level complex function timepieces are all the crystallization of the professional attainments of watch masters. The structure of the minute repeater system is very precise, consisting of miniature racks, volute gears, hammers and gongs. The watch owner can use the spring slide lever at 9 o'clock on the side of the watch to activate the minute repeater function as desired. The system announces the hour with a low tone, the quarter hour with a high tone, and the minutes since the previous quarter hour with a high tone. This 'Patek Philippe Phonology' is perfected by well-trained listening experts, combined with artificial skill and experience, and is highly sought after by connoisseurs. The minute repeater timepieces produced by its workshops are all listened to by the president Deno Stern for the sound quality of the springs one by one, to determine whether the watch is good enough for the watch owner to enjoy.

The instantaneous jump perpetual calendar displays information in the display window The transparent bottom cover is decorated with PATEK PHILIPPE TOKYO transfer lettering, which is quite commemorative. Inside, it is equipped with the R CHR 27 PS QI self-winding movement with a micro-automatic disk, and the power reserve is at least 38 hours and at most 48 hours.

The instantaneous jumping perpetual calendar has super functions and is specially designed for rare and rare timepieces. This device was exclusively developed by Patek Philippe and won two patents. It was launched together with the number 5207 watch in 2008 and reappeared in the number 5208 watch in 2011. The new watch benefits from the same device. Of the 799 parts in the entire movement, this system alone accounts for 220. Even with a 10-hour power reserve remaining in the movement, the instantaneous perpetual calendar can show the day, date, month and leap year in 30 millisecond intervals through four display windows.

The device uses the display panel to display data. The quality that the system needs to drive is greater than that of the pointer display, and the implementation is more complicated. The instantaneous jump display requires sufficient power to stop and release the display panel instantly. The device is equipped with a large lever consisting of 15 parts, some of which are movable (first patent), which ensures that all displays can be jumped in simultaneously with perfect accuracy. There is another structure consisting of two positioning spring levers operating in reverse (the second patent), which ensures that every time the display changes, despite the large difference in the angle of displacement-from a total of 31 days to one day after the end of the month, and even from non- Four days after the jump at the end of February in a leap year, the power used remained stable. This technique prevents the jump from appearing incomplete under power, or too far behind under power.https://www.moon-watch.co

No. 5308P-010 The new quadruple complication timepiece is equipped with an opalescent rose gold surface, with charcoal gray platinum baton-style three-dimensional hour markers, and platinum royal-style faceted hands, adding a retro atmosphere. The surface emphasizes clarity when reading, ensuring that a total of 13 displays controlled by the R CHR 27 PS QI movement are clear and easy to read. There are display windows arranged in an arc along the position from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock to display the perpetual calendar day, date and month information; the display windows are inlaid with anthracite gray 18K white gold frame. Since the date data is the most important, the area of the relevant display window is correspondingly larger. In addition, there are special circular display windows at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock to display the day/night time and leap year cycle, which completes the entire calendar display; that is also an essential element when setting the calendar.

Platinum case with hollow lugs

Patek Philippe housed this extraordinary device in a case made of platinum – the most precious metal and at the same time the most difficult to work with. The case design and diameter (42 mm) are in line with the reference 5208 timepiece, which is simple and classic. The entire watch is polished by hand, with a concave bezel and hollow lugs, which are outstanding; a diamond is set on the side of the watch at 6 o'clock – consistent with the characteristics of Patek Philippe platinum timepieces. The watch has two case backs that can be converted; the sapphire crystal case back is embossed with "Patek Philippe Tokyo" transfer words, and the platinum case back is also engraved with the same words. The bright dark brown alligator leather strap is hand-stitched and has a platinum folding buckle, adding to the watch's charm.
