HIS TO COVET

Be it grand or useful complications for everyday use, timepieces with classic and timeless designs, sporty-elegant watches, joaillerie watches for ladies or rare handcrafts creations, Patek Philippe belongs to a small group of haute horlogerie maisons that produce watches across all categories. The last independent family-owned Genevan watch manufacture has consistently evolved its current collections by creating all-new models or reinterpreting the aesthetics of existing variants. Here, we feature the manufacture's six new men's watches that were presented recently.

REF. 5373P-001: SPLIT-SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH WITH PERPETUAL CALENDAR FOR LEFT-HANDERS

Taking inspiration from a one-of-a-kind watch from 1927, Patek Philippe has created this new timepiece for left-handers - a first in the manufacture's recent history. The Ref.5373P-001 split-seconds monopusher chronograph with perpetual calendar is distinguished from its predecessor, the Ref.5372, by its unusual inverted displays and operating elements.

This highly exclusive model, which is crafted in small series for not just lefties but connoisseurs of choice rarities, is powered by the calibre CHR 26-525 PS Q made by Patek Philippe. Launched in 2010, the 7.3mm manually wound movement is the thinnest split-seconds chronograph and perpetual calendar movement ever produced. Since 2017, it has been offered in a platinum model with a sunburst blue dial (Ref. 5372P-001), as well as a rose-gilt dial with a vertical satin finish (Ref. 5372P-010).

The 38.3mm platinum case features a crown with an integrated chronograph monopusher at 9 o'clock and a split-seconds pusher at 8 o'clock. It boasts an elegant look with its polished concave bezel, slightly domed sapphire crystal, recessed and satin-finished flanks, as well as finely curved lugs and spring bars adorned with decorative cabochons.
