Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Ref. 6159G
The perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand features among Patek Philippe’s most sought-after models. In 2025, the manufacture has reinterpreted this emblematic Grand Complication in a new version in white gold with an original modern style, its sapphire crystal dial with grey metallisation offering a veiled glimpse of the watch’s mechanical heart.
The bezel is adorned with the famous Clous de Paris or hobnail guilloché motif – one of the most beautiful symbols of the Patek Philippe style.
Beating within this Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Reference 6159G-001 is the calibre 26-330 S QR self-winding movement, which may be admired through a sapphire-crystal case back. Retail Price: $189,700 AUD.
Complications Annual Calendar Ref. 4946R
Next, the renowned Annual Calendar, invented and patented by Patek Philippe in 1996, offers a new model in rose gold that is the first non gem-set version for this reference, with a 38 mm diameter that suits every wrist.
The warm sheen of rose gold combines elegantly with a dial in chestnut-brown adorned with a double vertical and horizontal satin-brushed “shantung” finish and a calfskin leather strap embossed with a “denim” motif.
Beating at the heart of this Annual Calendar Reference 4946R-001 is the calibre 26-330 S QA LU self-winding movement, displaying the day, date and month, and requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of the month of February. Retail Price: $89,150 AUD.
Calatrava 8 Day Ref. 5328G
In 2025 the spotlight is on the Calatrava 8 Day Reference 5328G-001, equipped with instantaneous displays of the day (by an aperture) and the date (by a hand) at 6 o’clock and a large power reserve of eight days, indicated at 12 o’clock.
The new calibre 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J manually wound movement unites a classic architecture with several technical innovations, including a Pulsomax® escapement in Silinvar®. The two barrels connected in series guarantee that the watch will function with perfect precision for eight full days, with a ninth day “in reserve”.
Characterised by its contemporary aesthetic, this timepiece comes in a white-gold case, its caseband adorned with the Clous de Paris or hobnail guilloché motif, framing a blue dial presenting its displays in a modern, original style on a vertical axis. Retail Price: $113,850 AUD.
Calatrava Ref. 6196P
Quintessence of timeless elegance, the Calatrava collection also offers a new model in platinum enriched with the vintage touch of a dial in rose-gilt opaline with a pure, understated design.
This Calatrava Reference 6196P-001, its polished case adorned with satin-brushed flanks, is notable for its smooth beveled bezel and slender tapering lugs forming a harmonious link to the strap in shiny-chocolate alligator leather.
The calibre 30-255 PS manually wound movement measures out the time. Its extremely slender profile combines with a 65-hour power reserve and a “stop-second” function enabling the time to be set to the nearest second. Retail Price: $75,900 AUD.
Twenty~4 Perpetual Calendar Ref. 7340/1R
Finally, a splendid surprise also for feminine devotees of Grand Complications: the Twenty~4 collection is welcoming its very first complication, namely a perpetual calendar.
Thanks to the calibre 240 Q ultra-thin self-winding movement the case is as elegantly slim as ever. The calendar indications are displayed by hands in three subsidiary dials accompanied by an aperture for the moon phase, together composing one of the most recognisable of the Patek Philippe perpetual-calendar faces.
The first round Twenty~4 that is not gem-set, this perpetual calendar offers a choice of two versions in rose gold: Reference 7340/1R-001 with a silvered dial adorned with a double vertical and horizontal satin-brushed finish recalling the sheen of wild shantung silk, and Reference 7340/1R-010, its olive-green sunburst dial both modern and refined. Retail Price: $193,500 AUD.
