Catalogue Essay
Created for the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe in a 175 pieces limited edition, reference 5275 can be considered one of the technical pinnacles of Patek Philippe production. The development of its movement took 4 years of research and development, with four patents filed specifically for this model.
Inspired by another celebratory timepiece - reference 3969 launched for the 150th anniversary, which features digital hour display - it vastly improves on the digital hour concept. While the dial features a relatively simple display - the only out-of-the-ordinary detail being the digital hour indication - the complexity of the mechanism powering this masterpiece is simply daunting. Far from being a simple digital hour timepiece, reference 5275 features a number of complications: all the time indications - the seconds, the minutes and the digital hour - proceed by jump intervals, rather than a constant movement. Furthermore, the jumping of the three time indications - at the striking of the minute or of the hour - is perfectly synchronized. On top of this, the model is a chiming piece, indicating the passage of the hour with a crystal clear chime which can be disabled via the slide at 10 o’ clock.
The present lot in the first example of reference 5275P to be offered publicly in Asia.
