Introduction of Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar Travel Time in white gold

Patek Philippe presents its first Watches & Wonders watch with 12 new models ranging from time-only to the highest level of complications, including the brand's new portfolio of complications. Today I'm introducing you to this watch, Patek Philippe Complications Annual Calendar Travel Time replica 5326G-001 in white gold, which is also a very popular one these days.

The Case

Executed in an all-new 41mm Calatrava case in white gold, guilloched with a hobnail pattern on the entire circumference of the caseband, this is the 5326G-001 Annual Calendar Travel Time replica. Its complex architecture, featuring a central module flanked by inclined pyramid-like lugs attached to the caseback, is unlike anything in the Calatrava collection. This hobnail motif, composed of tiny shiny pyramids, did not appear out of the blue; it was used to decorate the bezel of the 1985 Calatrava 3919, a reference that defined the collection for over 20 years, but that is now used in a different position on the case, for a more dynamic result.

The Dial

The granular surface of the charcoal grey dial gives the watch its unique personality. Made by Cadrans Flückiger in Saint-Imier, a dial specialist owned by replica Patek Philippe since 2004, the unique texture of the dial picks up on the bumpy surface found on old cameras originally intended for better grip. The dial also has a trendy gradient effect as the grey colour intensifies and slightly darkens as it reaches the perimeter.

Like the hour numerals used on the retro military-inspired Perpetual Calendar replica 5320G, the white gold applied Arabic numerals are filled with beige luminous material. The syringe-style hands with pointy tips are also filled with beige lume, underscoring the vintage mood of the watch. The beige colour scheme extends to other details on the dial, like the railway tracks for the minutes and small seconds, the inscriptions for Local and Home night/day indicators and the brand name at noon.

Weekdays and months are displayed in two horizontal rectangular windows at noon, while the date is positioned in the lower half of the moon phase counter at 6 o’clock; all three indications with highly legible white backgrounds and black inscriptions. The three calendar functions can be adjusted with small correctors in the caseband.

A third openworked syringe hour hand with no lume is used to indicate home time, although it is not accompanied by a 24-hour track. Instead, the two round apertures below the central axis are used to indicate night/day for local and home time; white represents day, blue is for night. In a final ode to vintage watches, the dial is protected by a box sapphire crystal. Given the amount of information relayed on the dial, it is balanced, legible and remarkably uncluttered.

The Movement

Patek Complications Annual Calendar replica is a full calendar with day/date/month that requires one manual correction once a year on 1 March. Launched in 1996, the innovative mechanism automatically distinguishes between months with 30 and 31 days. One year later, Patek released its Travel Time mechanism, indicating a second time zone with a second central hour hand. Now, in 2022, the Annual Calendar and Travel Time join forces in one watch. Based on the movement used inside the In-Line Perpetual Calendar replica 5236 of 2021, the resulting calibre 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H benefits from the 20% gain in barrel torque, the increased winding power of the platinum micro-rotor, the frequency of 4Hz (28,800 semi-oscillations per hour), and a reduction wheel that uncouples the automatic winding when the watch is manually wound, which reduces wear.
