Catalogue Essay
Launched in 2005, the ref. 5250 in white gold was the first Advanced Research limited edition model of the series. Revolution in design, Patek Philippe developed the ground-breaking silicon-based escape wheel for a Swiss lever escapement with and annual calendar movement, the caliber 315 S IRM QA LU SI. The dedicated Advanced Research department was created to focus exclusively on exploring and developing new technologies and materials; it underlines the company’s continued commitment to technological advances in horology.

Produced in a limited edition of 100 examples only with a slick monochromatic appeal, the present ref. 5250 is a great addition to the collector of the Advanced research series.
