ROLEX
Perhaps the biggest news coming out from Watches & Wonders 2022 is the launch of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II Ref. 126720VTNR with green and black Cerachrom bezel and left-hand crown. Speculation has been rife about such a configuration moments before the launch but the news is now out in the wild to great fanfare and surprise. Nobody expected this colourway to be released, let alone the left-handed crown and once again, Rolex has the last laugh. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II is presented in Oystersteel and Oyster or Jubilee bracelet and is powered by the Superlative Chronometer certified calibre 3285 with the date aperture and cyclops flushed to the left side of the case.
PATEK PHILIPPE
Geneva heavyweights Patek Philippe amalgamates two of its enduring complications, the Annual Calendar and Travel Time, as it launches the groundbreaking Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time Ref. 5326G-001. This marks the first time these two patented complications are housed together harmoniously in a modernised expression of time telling. The new self-winding calibre 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement displays the annual calendar which requires a manual correction only once a year and the Travel Time complication is perfect for globetrotters. Patek Philippe devised a system that synchronises the annual calendar with the local time — any time zone correction done simultaneously adjusts the calendar. A total of eight patents are filed for the movement which together significantly reduces the chances of damaging the movement during manual corrections, a faster calendar change system, and other nifty safety functions. A new Calatrava case is designed for the Ref. 5326G-001, with a hobnail pattern guilloche to the case side and a vintage-inspired textured charcoal dial.
