Catalogue Essay - The Patek Philippe ref 5212A, unveiled at Baselworld 2019, is undoubtedly one of the finest releases from the manufacturer in recent years. In a departure from their usual complications, this watch showcases the brand new calibre 26-330 S C J SE, which includes a groundbreaking weekly calendar, a first in Patek Philippe's history. - The dial may appear intricate, but the five centrally mounted hands create a harmonious visual appeal that balances all the displayed information. Unlike Patek Philippe's traditional designs, the calendar features a completely new typography, with the font based on the handwriting of one of the brand's designers, lending a unique touch to this exceptional timepiece. - On the other hand, the double-stepped lugs immediately bring to mind the cases of vintage Patek Philippe watches, drawing inspiration from the unique Patek Philippe ref 2512 which is now sitting in their heritage museum. - Positioned as an entry-level complication within Patek Philippe's current lineup, this watch serves as the perfect dress watch for both formal dinners and casual occasions, making it a must-have piece for watch connoisseurs.
