Hello everyone, for cheap Patek Philippe, the dual-time function is a good and common function, but there are not many single-function dual-time watches like 5224. I remember the last single-function dual-time watch. It is still 5134, which has been discontinued for a long time, and 5134 is only manual. The emergence of 5224 perfectly filled the gap that PP has not had a single-function two-place timepiece for many years.
Although Patek Philippe has many complex watches, there are not many watches with a single complex function, and whenever PP decides to launch a watch with a single complex function, it is doomed that this function is of great significance to PP, such as its famous world time function and timing function. As a loyal fan of watches in two places, the appearance of 5224 at least relatively solves the embarrassing reality that 5230P and 5326G cannot afford to climb high, and 5164A is out of the world. Compared with the previous two-time function of PP, which used the day and night window and the 24-hour small dial to distinguish the morning and afternoon of the place of residence, this time PP simply uses the most direct 24-hour digital scale.
The 24-hour digital scale first appeared on PP on the Gondolo pocket watch launched in 1905, and this time it appeared on the watch. On the one hand, it can simplify the relatively complicated structure of the day and night window, and on the other hand, it can make the dial more Pure, when the two hour hands overlap, it looks like a very simple and elegant small three hands. The fully polished 42 mm diameter rose gold case diameter of this watch uses curved double-layer lugs. It is inspired by the 5212 weekly calendar that came out in 2019, but I think it is more accurate than the 5172 with curved three-layer lugs. Like a pair of CP. Since the new 5224’s two-time adjustment is done by the crown, without the previous left button, and with rose gold digital luminous hour markers inlaid by hand, and luminous syringe hands, this watch is even more suitable for formal wear and sports. , has achieved a perfect balance between traditional inspiration and modern sophistication, and just rightly grasps the future trend of luxury leisure.
The reason why Patek Philippe can be called the fake men watches king is that in addition to its concise appearance and exquisite craftsmanship, there is also a very important point that it is easy to use, because there are too many watches on the earth with a ceiling of beauty and operation that you want to turn your face. The solid hour hand of 5224 indicates the local time, and the hollow hour hand indicates the time of the home country. When the crown is pulled out halfway, the solid hour hand can be adjusted forward or backward in one-hour increments. When this operation is performed, the solid hour hand, which acts as a local time indicator, will be separated from the movement, so the accuracy of the minute and second hands will not be affected in the slightest. When this function is not used, the two hour hands can be overlapped to run completely synchronously. In addition, because the hour hand of this watch makes a circle in 24 hours, Patek Philippe specially set the scale showing noon at 12 o’clock on the dial instead of the traditional 6 o’clock. Just imagine, if the number 12 is at 6 o’clock, you can see the time What a torment it will be.
The reason why the 5224 can have both appearance and function is of course the new 31-260 PS FUS 24H movement. Friends who are familiar with PP should know that before the birth of the 260 movement, PP had two major automatic foundations, one is the large pendulum and the 330 movement whose model has evolved from 315 to the present, and the other is known as the most beautiful movement. The Pearl Tuo 240 movement with automatic movement, as for how good the 240 movement is, you can choose your own degree. What I want to say is that although the 240 is super powerful, there is also a small regret, that is, if a small second hand is added to the 240 movement, This small second hand can only appear at 4 o’clock. The emergence of the 260 movement perfectly made up for the historical shortcoming of the 240.
The 260 movement first appeared on the 5235 standard pointer annual calendar launched by Patek Philippe in 2011, while the 260 used in the 5224 was redesigned in 2021, and the vibration frequency of the movement was increased from the previous 3.2 Hz to To 4 Hz, the drive train uses an independent splint, and the winding torque is increased by 20%. In order to further enhance the winding power, the Pearl Tuo also uses platinum, which is of higher quality than gold. It is also equipped with a reduction wheel, which can be separated from the automatic winding device when manual winding is started, thereby reducing loss. Judging from the current trend, the 260 movement has been accumulated for more than ten years, and the time for PP to gradually replace the 240 with 260 is also ripe. This is a strong signal that can be clearly felt from PP’s practice of only keeping platinum 5230 last year. In short, I am very much looking forward to using the world time of the 260 movement. If nothing else, the model should be 5330. The public price of the new 5224 is 447200. Of course, this is not important. I just think it would be better if the diameter of this watch can be reduced by 1 mm. swiss watch cheap
