Watches with minute repeaters have always ranked among the rarest, most precious, and most elaborate timepieces. In an extremely compact space, their intricate inner life brings together hundreds of individual parts that interact and function in harmony, or move next to each other with minimal clearances, without making contact. Ordinarily, minute repeaters belong to the category of large wristwatches. But here, Patek Philippe made an exception because its self-winding caliber R 27 PS is one of the thinnest movements with a striking mechanism. It not only ranks among the few repeater movements that are self-winding but thanks to the off-center minirotor in 22K gold – fully recessed in the plate – its height is a scant 5.05 mm. These are ideal assets for a watch intended to elegantly grace a feminine wrist, despite the formidable horological degrees of difficulty that it incorporates.
With its charming case in warm rose-gold framed by a convex bezel, the new Ref. 7000 is a timepiece of great beauty. The manufacture's classic Officer's-style models also inspired the straight lugs with the screwed strap bars. In place of a hinged back-cover, however, it features a screwed sapphire-crystal back that reveals the marvel of sonorous time. The slide that activates the minute repeater is perfectly integrated into the left-hand case side, juxtaposed by the fluted crown at 3 o'clock that visually emphasizes the equilibrium of the case form. The cream-colored dial with the transfer-printed maker's signature and the seconds scale in antique rose is surrounded by the mirror-polished bezel. Nine applied Breguet numerals in 18K rose gold and dainty rose-gold pearls at the periphery of the dial are placed along the hour and minute circles, accenting the easily legible, open face of the watch. It sets a sublime stage for the "Poire Stuart" hour and minute hands and the slim baton-style counterbalanced seconds hand. All hands are crafted from 18K rose gold. It is easily to overlook the fact that this poised and feminine face conceals no fewer than 342 individual parts of a highly complex movement. For every lover of complex watches, it is always a joy to observe the ballet of the filigreed parts of a striking mechanism in action. And it is not just men who are captivated by the complexities of haute horlogerie. For instance, the number of hours, quarter-hours, and minutes displayed on the dial must be continuously updated by the system of intricately shaped cams, wheels, and snails so that they are in the right positions when the slide that triggers the minute repeater is actuated. This is because the toothed segments of the hour, quarter-hour, and minute racks must move into the positions that allow them to accurately control the number of hour, quarter-hour, and minute strikes. The rhythm of the strikes, in turn, is controlled by a small centrifugal governor, which assures that the gongs are struck in uniform succession rather than in a hurried sequence. Apart from many tiny parts, this also calls for the utmost in precision and patience in finishing, assembling, and adjusting them. For this reason, movements with minute repeaters are crafted in separate haute horlogerie ateliers at Patek Philippe, where one master watchmaker is responsible for the assembly, adjustment, and completion of each individual watch from start to finish. This work is entrusted only to the most talented watchmakers whose assets are sharp eyes and ears, a steady hand, infinite patience, and years of experience.

"Celebrity Brad Pitt wearing a Patek Philippe"
Celebrity trends are big business and there is no question as to whether or not celebrity endorsements work. The basic idea of an endorsement is pretty simple. People like celebrities.
If those celebrities say that they like a product, or in this case wear a particular watch, people will like that product, to. So, what accounts for this celebrity effect? Endorsements could be a signal of quality — but the modern consumer is sophisticated. They know money’s changing hands. At a deeper level, we seem to crave connection to the famous and the powerful.

Finestwatches.com is no stranger to dealing with celebrities, foreign dignitaries, high-profile clients or ultra expensive watches. Known as a “go to” company for high-end timepieces, one of the most expensive pieces the company has dealt with is the Patek Philippe 5002P in platinum, which market value is somewhere in the $1.6 million range.

Additional Info: Caseband (side of case) decorated with halved Calatrava crosses. Watch dial shows the sky visible from Geneva. Skeletonized white-lacquered gold feuille hands. Microscopically accurate star field disc. Sans-serif roman numerals and direction markers. The central elipse frames the angular part of the sky visible at lattitude 46'20''. Three separate sapphire crystal discs rotate around the dial. The night sky of the Northern Hemisphere rotates counter-clockwise showing the passage of the sky relative to the meridian of Sirius (the brightest star second only to our own Sun). The sidereal day of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09892 seconds is measured by the passage of the fixed star Sirius (indicated on the dial via a special arrow). The waxing and waning of the moon is shown on a secondary dial, displaying both lunation - the time between two full moons, which is on average 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.82 seconds - and the lunar day - the time between two passages of the moon across its meridian, being 24 hours, 50 minutes and 28,328 seconds. Celestial timepieces have been produced for some time, but none so accurate as the Patek Philippe Celestial. To create a watch that accurately measures moon-phase and solar time, the master watchmakers at Patek Philippe used sophisticated computerization to produce the single precise ratio out of 25 trillion ratio combinations. Just how accurate is this watch? The lunar day is accurate to 0.05 seconds per day, 18.385 seconds per year, or 30 minutes and 38.5 seconds per century. The sidereal day is accurate to 0.088 seconds per sidereal day, 32,139 seconds er year, or 53 minutes and 33.9 seconds per century. The moon phase is accurate to 6.51 seconds per lunation. A remarkable achievement indeed! One crown at 2 o'clock winds the watch and sets the time, the other at 4 o'clock sets the astronomical indications. Each watch takes approximately 18 months to complete, and about 35 examples are produced annually. The 301 individual watch parts are hand finished. All steel components are bevelled and polished reducing friction at wheel contact points thereby improving precision. The automatic rotor is made in 22k gold. All Celestials bear the Geneva seal - testament to the state of the art manifested in each watch.

Philippe reference 5204 is very impressive. It's a new perpetual calendar with split-seconds chronograph for Patek, replacing the 5004 in the lineup, and offering a number of significant improvements. Here are the basic differences:

First, Patek has chosen to up the case size from 36.7 to an even 40 millimeters in keeping with the modern trend for larger watches. It's a huge jump, but 40mm is still a more than reasonable size and looks very good. Currently the 5204 is only being produced in platinum (5204p-001 being the full reference for this piece), and while the 5004P was most often seen with Arabic numerals, the 5204P features applied gold baton markers with luminescent fills instead. The dial itself is opalescent 18k white gold and the hands are black oxidized gold with Super Luminova inlays. The sub registers have also been rendered a little more minimally, with the day/night and leap year indications move off the sub-registers and into small windows.

New Dial:
Day and month windows at 12 o'clock, 30-minute chronograph register at 3'clock (which now jumps instantaneously), leap year window between 4 and 5 o'clock, date register and moon phase at 6'oclock, day/night window between 7 and 8 o'clock, running seconds register at 9 o'clock, and the hours/minutes hands and two split seconds hands centered on the dial. The 5204P has a cleaner, more pared-down look when compared to it's older sibling, and readability is amazing for such a complicated watch.

But it's what's under the surface that really makes the difference here (and it's almost a $75,000 difference). The 5204 is powered by a caliber CHR 29-535 PS Q movement, with a Gyromax balance beating at 28,800 bph (4Hz), which is a substantial change from the 18,000 bph of the 5004's CHR 27-70 Q. Beyond beat rate though, the 27-70 Q chronograph was based on Lemania's excellent movement, and then heavily modified in-house at Patek, while the 29-535 PS Q is a true built from the ground-up, highly complicated, in-house movement. It is manually wound, has a 65 hour power reserve, can be seen through the sapphire case back (solid platinum is included as well), and is the eighth fully in-house chronograph movement from Patek Philippe.

This in-house movement contains a number of innovations, particularly for the split seconds chronograph system. The first is the switch from an "octopus wheel" isolator system to a new "swan-neck" isolator system for controlling the split seconds hand. The octopus could only turn unidirectionally and required a bulkier isolator wheel spring, while the swan-neck is very thin and can move quickly in both directions. The result is a much more reliable split system that is also more durable and easier to
The second innovation is a mechanism for reducing the offset between the two chronograph hands. Because the split seconds hand's movement is linked to the main chronograph hand's movement, there can sometimes be a slight difference between the two. Rather than cover this up with a slightly wider chronograph hand (which many do, and the 5004 did), Patek have reshaped their cam and roller system to be dead precise. The geometry is relatively complicated, but the idea straightforward - more consistently predictable contact between moving parts and you get more accurate interactions.

Description:

2012 - Heading the line-up for Baselworld 2012 is the magnificent Patek Philippe Grand Complication Split Seconds Chronograph & Perpetual Calendar This year, Patek Philippe brings the Ref. 5204, which combines the perpetual calendar complication with a split seconds chronograph complication. The Patek Philippe Ref. 5204 replaces the Patek Philippe Ref. 5004. Both watches feature a split seconds chronograph combined with a perpetual calendar, moon phase indicator and an A.M./P.M. indicator. The new Ref. 5204 has a larger 40 mm case, as compared to the 36.7 millimeters of the Ref. 5004. The new Ref. 5204 also has a redesigned dial and hands. Here are the differences: while both watches have manually wound movements the Ref. 5204 has a brand new Caliber CHR 29-535 PS Q movement which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hours and has a 65 hour power reserve. The movement in the Ref. 5004 beat at a slower 18,000 vibrations per hour and had a shorter 60 hour power reserve. In updating the size of the Ref. 5204 to keep up with the times, Patek also made good use of the additional space. A perpetual calendar is a mechanism that automatically takes into account the varying number of days in each month as well as leap years, so that the watch displays the correct date each month without the need of adjustment In addition to the two main complications, the split seconds chronograph and perpetual calendar, the Ref. 5204 has several other complications. The watch displays the day and month at the 12 o'clock position. At 3 o'clock it has the standard 30 minute chronograph counter. At 6 o'clock, the watch displays the day of the month and the moon phase indicator A small round aperture at between the 3 to 4 o'clock positions indicates the leap year cycle, while another small round aperture at between the 3 to 4 o'clock positions serves as a day night indicator. Two case backs are provided with the watch. A full platinum case back and another with a sapphire crystal glass Patek Philippe has thought of it all, allowing the wearer to use the watch to its fullest capabilities & still having a sleek, sophisticated & rare timepiece to covet & enjoy! Strap: alligator with square scales, hand-stitched, matte black with deployment buckle in Platinum. Water
