The good old calendar

In 1925, Patek Philippe’s first perpetual calendar watch on the creation of birth: Ref. 97′975. The watch can display precise week, month and date, regardless of the month is 31 days or 30 days, according to a leap year cycle, but also show the February 28 or 29 days. However, until 1941, also happens to be 70 years before the calendar watch before entering the regular production phase. These timepieces, which Ref.1518, with perpetual calendar chronograph function, date and month display with rectangular windows and buttons, this is the new Ref. 5270 watch exactly the same. Today, such functional watch at international auctions continue to refresh the world auction record.

Calendar in order to integrate devices and CH 29-535 PS manual winding chronograph movement, we must develop a new mechanical calendar module. Patek Philippe took two years to be only 1.65 mm thick, from the traditional calendar cam control device (a total of 182 parts) and implantation of a perfect match among this chronograph movement. Therefore, Ref. 5270 of the calendar device reflects the Patek Philippe big push in the handle bar, date gear, calendar star wheel, the calendar star wheel, a leap year cam, advance lever springs, gears, ratchet mechanism and procedures of the strengths of complex parts. In addition, running gear and stainless steel perpetual calendar devices in many parts of the reason for their outstanding, not only because of their accuracy, but also because they are processed through the art after becoming an exquisite masterpiece. These components show a hand-polished side of the border, ruled surfaces, and carefully polished bevel edge, but with a relatively flat 45-degree slope is slightly convex bevel, Patek Philippe called typical details one. Stainless steel pinion gear and the same has been carefully handled: All tooth and the tooth leaf by artisans using hand-polished hard wood round of treatment. This process not only for appearance. Polished surface to reduce friction and wear, thereby more effectively transfer momentum. Ref. 5270 the owner may not see it that needed to ensure reliable performance and superior energy-consuming process, because it deep in the bottom of the dial. However, this charm will take years, even decades, gradually blooming years before, when either the owner or the watch will be the successor to experience it without reducing the value of the potential rise.
