Retrograde Perpetual Calendar, 42mm White Gold Rare Handcrafts Self Winding

Patek Philippe Ref. 5160/500G-001 Retrograde Perpetual Calendar watch is for those who appreciate traditional artistic crafts in their mechanical timepieces. This 38mm timepiece is a member of Patek Philippe's coveted Rare Handcrafts collection, featuring a visually distinctive perpetual calendar hard to find in the contemporary luxury watch market.

The 5160 series made its debut in 2010, but the white gold variation was introduced in 2016. It is Patek's one most exclusive offerings, offering an officer-style case construction hand-graved by skilled artisans depicting the brand's rich heritage. The elaborate engravings showcase intricate volutes and foliage motifs inspired by a historical pocket watch from the Patek Philippe Museum. The exceptionally attractive hand engraving is throughout the surface—bezel, case middle, lugs, crown, and most impressively, the hinged officer-style caseback. The silvery opaline dial with blackened Breguet numerals and hand-engraved center section makes a uniquely impressive watch.

The self-winding Caliber 26-330 S QR, comprising 368 individual components, keeps the heart of the watch beating. The perpetual calendar movement is a sophisticated complication displaying day, month, and leap year through apertures at 9, 12, and 3 o'clock, respectively. The moon phase indicator is at 6 o'clock, adding astronomical functionality to this aesthetically pleasing timepiece.
