Catalogue Essay
Patek Philipe has a long and unbroken history with perpetual calendar chronographs starting with the reference 1518 in 1941but it wasn’t until 1996 and the launch of the reference 5004 that Patek Philippe added a split seconds mechanism to a serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, once again asserting the brand’s technical supremacy.
However, Patek Philippe had always relied on outsourced movements for its chronographs (Valjoux, Lemania) and in 2010 the brand presented its very first perpetual calendar split seconds chronograph with inhouse movement: reference 5159. An elegant single pusher model in a cushion case.
The reference 5372 – like the present example was launched in 2017 either with a vibrant blue dial or a salmon one.
Extremely impressive, the perpetual calendar single button split-seconds chronograph timepiece features for the first time in the lineage a single button chronograph on top of all the other complications featured in the timepiece. Adopting a case design with countersunk and satin-finished flanks that is relatively similar to the split-seconds chronograph ref. 5370 measuring 43mm in diameter, the ref. 5372 impressively measures a smaller case dimension at 38.3mm diameter.
Differing from all its other counterparts and predecessors, the dial no longer features day and month windows above the signature at 12 O’clock and is instead replaced by moon phases above the signature at 12 O’clock with a day aperture positioned at 9 O’clock and its month aperture located opposite at 3 O’clock.
Discontinued in 2022, the present reference 5372P is so rare that it is only the 3rd example (2 with salmon dial and the present blue dial) to grace an international auction room
