Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2014 by releasing a collection of six limited edition timepieces, all of which highlighted the manufacture's technical skill and quality of workmanship. Each release garnered excitement and praise from collectors, with the reference 5275P being amongst the collection’s most complicated and impressive offerings. It was built on a tradition established by the previous commemorative pieces released by Patek Philippe for their 150th anniversary in 1989, such as the Jump Hour reference 3969, but to grand effect.
The reference 5275P is a modern chiming Jump Hour wristwatch that took four years of research and development to create. Paying homage to the reference 3969, the 21st century example was bold and modern with a platinum engraved case and dial, as well as a chime at the top of the hour. Patek Philippe produced only 175 examples, and the watch is the epitome of a complication watch inspired from their historical past, with an elegant aesthetic housed in a tonneau-shaped case. The dial is engraved with a floral scroll motif, brilliantly executed to counter the otherwise empty space on the dial, and the engraving extends to both the sides of the platinum case and the clasp.
Amongst watch enthusiasts, the new caliber 32-650 HGS PS was an amazing feat of technology, with the jump hour requiring precise power and energy management to permit the functions to advance in sync. It introduced four new patents, three pertaining to the jumping mechanism and the other isolating the hour striking mechanism. The result is that all the time indications - the seconds, the minutes and the digital hour - advance by instantaneous jump intervals, rather than a constant movement. In contrast to the rather traditionally sized 3969, the 5275P is boldly sized at 40mm in diameter and 45mm from lug to lug. The reference 5275P is most appreciated by connoisseurs for its loud and crisp chiming mechanism, which is perfectly synchronized to the time.
Consigned by the original owner and fresh-to-the market, this watch is extremely well-preserved and is offered complete with the original Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin and its accompanying set of accessories. The reference 5275P combines taste, technical mastery, and incredible rarity, and is a masterful representation of Patek Philippe’s excellence in watchmaking.
