Key Features

1. Platinum 950 Case Construction

• Rare and Refined: The 41.3mm case is forged from solid platinum, a precious metal prized for its weight, prestige, and understated elegance.

• Elegant Design Language: The case features a fully polished finish with subtle flared lugs, and is fitted with a concave bezel that enhances the dial’s visual depth. A small diamond, set discreetly at 6 o’clock on the caseband, is a signature hallmark of Patek Philippe’s platinum models.

2. In-line Perpetual Calendar Display

• Innovative Layout: For the first time in a Patek Philippe wristwatch, the day, date, and month are displayed in a linear arrangement across a single aperture at 12 o’clock—a testament to the brand’s innovative spirit and technical prowess.

• Full Calendar Functionality: In addition to the in-line display, the watch also features a moon phase at 6 o’clock, a leap year indicator at 4 o’clock, and a day/night indicator at 8 o’clock—ensuring full perpetual calendar functionality until the year 2100.

3. Caliber 31-260 PS QL – Micro-Rotor Movement

• Horological Breakthrough: Developed exclusively for this model, the self-winding Caliber 31-260 PS QL features a micro-rotor and a patented inline display mechanism. Comprising 503 components, the movement reflects Patek Philippe’s mastery in miniaturization and complication integration.
