Patek Philippe has just announced it's new collection for 2024 at Watches & Wonders, and we've got the entire release covered for you.
Fashion vs. Function: Why It’s Time to Break Out of Our Gendered Views on WatchesEach spring, the new releases from the storied independent watch house Patek Philippe are nearly as highly anticipated as those from Rolex. This year sees Patek updating perennial favorites, in what appears to be a trend across brands for 2024’s edition of Watches & Wonders.
It is only in this context that one can really make sense of Patek Philippe’s releases for 2024, which are decidedly an assertion of its storied history. This year’s 5236P in-line perpetual calendar with a rose gold opaline dial is emblematic of this assertion. Th 5236 is a traditionally styled perpetual calendar with a totally unique, yet understated, four-disc complication displaying the day, date and month.
The caliber 26-330 S C FUS is an incredibly useful movement for the globetrotter. Offering dual time zones on the main dial, one simply uses the left-side pushers to jump the local hour hand to wherever its needed. Meanwhile, the hollow hour hand stays put tracking whatever your home time is. One of the unique and most useful features of this movement is the inclusion of dual AM/PM indicators, clearly marked “Home” and “Local.
For 2024, Patek has given us the 5220RG, a lovely rose gold version with a gray sunburst dial and generous luminescent accents throughout the dial. There’s something in this colorway which adds even more old-world charm to this already retro-styled timepiece.In 1925, Patek Philippe released a gorgeous, highly engraved gold perpetual calendar humbly known as the 91975.
What isn’t traditional here are the charchoal-colored white gold baton markers and hands. There’s something stealthily 21st-century about this dial due to this intriguing choice, which might feel more at home on a less traditionally styled watch. However, the manner in which the charocal elements integrate with the black printing throughout the dial creates a quiet clairty that enhances the minimalism of this understated perpetual calendar.
