There is not much that needs to be said about Patek Philippe watches,
they are the Rule by which other watch brands are measured.
As an independent family owned company founded in 1851,
Patek Philippe enjoys total creative freedom to design,
produce and assemble what experts agree to be the finest timepieces in the world.
With its vast experience and more than 70 patents to its credit,
Patek Philippe is the only manufacturer that crafts all of its

mechanical movements according to the strict specifications of the Geneva Seal. These precious, timeless elegant watches, proudly handed down from one generation to the next,


The featured watch is an Automatic, Platinum Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph 5960P.  The Annual Calendar Chronograph features a 40.5 mm round case with a smooth bezel,      
scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal and a flat sapphire display back crystal to view the 21K Rose Gold winding rotor. The case also features a crown at 3 o'clock with two chronograph pushers and three recessed calendar correction push pieces are arranged on the left of the case between 9 and 10. This outstanding and revolutionary wristwatch features 456 parts,
 154 of which are used to manipulate the patented annual perpetual calendar. Housed inside the Platinum
case is an automatic, self-winding caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H with 40 jewels, a power reserve of 55 hours  and is water resistant up to 25 meters. The stunning two-tone charcoal and silver grey dial bears eight hour
 markers in 18K White Gold, excluding the 6 o'clock position, there are 11 Superluminova coated dots around the dial at each hour. The hour and minute hands are leaf-shaped and manufactured in 18K White Gold with
Superluminova treatments.

The calendar features apertures for day between 10 and 11 o'clock,  date at 12 o'clock, month between 1 and 2 o'clock and day/night at 6 o'clock. Completing this piece is a  brown leather strap with a matching Patek Philippe deployment buckle. are the result of the latest technology combined with traditional watchmaking know-how.

Personal Note--Patek Philippe is regarded by many as the finest watch in the world and virtually every record set of watches sold at auction is for Patek Philippe watches. For most collectors, the journey to owning a Platinum Patek is a long one, with lots of lesser watches along the way and lessons learned from each of them. 

From the distinctive diamond set into the case designating Platinum, to the pleasing heft, to the often special dials reserved for the Platinum watches, a Platinum Patek is the best of the best. 

This piece is the perfect combination of old and new and I love the look of the  two-tone charcoal and grey dial... Don't miss your chance to own a wonderful piece for your collection.
