Replica Patek Philippe combines two of its patented complications for the first time: the Annual Calendar and the Travel Time mechanism. In the new Ref. 5326G-001 the House shows off its technical savoir-faire, optimizing and improving the paired operation of the two types. All this in a new Calatrava case (in white gold) with an original style, with Clous de Paris decoration on the middle case. The originality of the dial is another of its strengths: in vintage style and in a shaded gray color, it has a grainy texture reminiscent of the shells of old cameras.
As with the 2021 online Perpetual Calendar, the starting point of the new movement, the caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H (which boasts 8 patent applications), was that of the 31-260 of the Regulator with Annual Calendar. The new execution created for the Travel Time Annual Calendar has retained some of the optimizations made already in the online perpetual.
The interaction between the two complications has led to some technical challenges. The date indicated is always relative to local time and is changed forward or backward, if necessary, with each time zone correction, resulting in a reworking of the Annual Calendar mechanism. For this reason, the two complications do not work independently but it is the local time wheel that controls the calendar high quality replica watches uk.
In order not to compromise the aesthetic balance of the Clous de Paris decoration and preserve the concept of elegance of the Calatrava case, the mechanism of the Travel Time function has also been reworked. It keeps the same display but changes the adjustment system: no longer with the buttons but with the crown (in an intermediate position, rotated in one direction or the other, clockwise to go forward, counterclockwise to go back).
