The Quartet of Patek Philippe Watches We Haven’t Shown You Yet

A pair of Nautilus cheap watches, a gem-set Aquanaut and a stunning split-seconds chronograph perpetual calendar.

Earlier this week, rumors surfaced that Patek Philippe was about to launch a long-awaited successor to the iconic Nautilus 5711. Sure enough, the Platinum Nautilus 5811G was launched last Tuesday. Slightly larger in size with smaller aesthetic updates that continue the Nautilus tradition. But that’s far from it, with the brand launching not one but eight new timepieces, including the luxurious Nautilus 5792 with power reserve, moon phase and date, the irresistible stainless steel and salmon-coloured World Time Flyback Chronograph 5935A, and the amazing 5373P Split-second single pusher chronograph perpetual calendar “Destro”. Half of the new products have been released, and there are four more models to share with you. We will take you through them one by one. Starting with the 5402G Split Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar, followed by the Nautilus 5990 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time, then the Nautilus Joallerie 7118 Ladies Automatic and finally the Aquanaut 7968 Luce Rainbow Chronograph.

Patek Philippe 5402G-001 Split Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar
We kick off with the stunning Patek Philippe 5402G-001, another complex split-seconds chronograph with a perpetual calendar. 5402 is considered one of the brand’s classics, having previously been available in rose gold with a chocolate brown dial, a smooth white dial or a slate gray dial. This time, it’s in white gold with a gorgeous olive green sunburst dial with a subtle gradient to black on the outer edge. The hand-wound CHR 29-535 PS Q has traditional architecture and is capable of tracking normal time, elapsed time with split-seconds chronograph, perpetual calendar indication with date, day of the week, month, moon phase, day/night and leap year display. Comes with an olive green leather strap.

Patek Philippe NAUTILUS 5990/1A-001 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time Watch
The third Nautilus of Patek Philippe’s eight timepiece releases this week is the new 5990/10-001 Flyback Chronograph Travel Time. This complication was presented in rose gold last year, but the heritage of the 5990 started with a stainless steel model in 2014 to replace the 5980/1A. The stainless steel version 5990 has been updated with a new blue dial with a sunburst finish and a subtle black gradient around the perimeter. With the self-winding caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, it combines three practical meanings into one; flyback chronograph, dual time zone and date indication relative to local time. Wear the familiar one-piece stainless steel bracelet, now with a comfort clasp.

Patek Philippe NAUTILUS JOALLERIE 7118-1300R Ladies Automatic Winding
Half of Patek Philippe’s novelties come from the Nautilus collection, the last of which is dedicated to women. The new Patek Philippe Nautilus Joallerie 7118-1300R Ladies Automatic in an all rose gold case measures 35.2mm in diameter and tops with a gradient-set brown copper spessartine bezel (darker and lighter at 12 and 6 o’clock) at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock). This gemstone is also used for the hour markers, and the hands are displayed in the varnished center in the same hue. The automatic movement Caliber 324 SC is visible through the case back and features a 21k gold central rotor. It bears the Patek Philippe seal of quality, as all watches do, and is, of course, finished to the highest standards.

Patek Philippe AQUANAUT 7968-300R LUCE RAINBOW Chronograph
The last of four new Patek Philippe watches is the Aquanaut 7968-300R Luce Rainbow Chronograph. This 39.9mm wide rose gold Aquanaut based on the 5968A concept features a gem-set bezel featuring a row of clear diamonds and a row of iridescent sapphires. The white mother-of-pearl dial is engraved with the Aquanaut motif, the hours are set with iridescent sapphires, and gold applied numerals. Rose gold hour and minute hands are infused with luminous material. Inside, we find the self-winding caliber CH 28-520, which indicates central hours and minutes, chronograph seconds and chronograph 60 minutes in a sub-dial at 6 o’clock. These colorful models are paired with red, white or beige composite straps and feature a diamond-set folding clasp.

Ulysse Nardin El Toro Watch

No one says luxury watch designs have to be conservative, but there’s a fine line between what’s edgy and what’s too hard. Often, luxury timepieces that try too hard to break the mold also undermine their appeal. Introducing cutting-edge design concepts in an industry with so many traditions can be quite difficult.

For many brands, modern means the future — a path that could easily lead to design irrelevance in just a few short years. However, Ulysse Nardin cheap takes an approach that stands out from the status quo, with models that are both modern and technical in appearance.

With the Ulysse Nardin El Toro, they may have just created a look that doesn’t appeal to all connoisseurs, but whose technical design is so advanced that it will still feel fresh from now on. The key seems to be a fusion of classic and futuristic elements, while specifying a new way of indicating information on the dial. While the multi-colored, multi-layered surface of the El Toro watch may seem intimidating at first glance, it’s actually very useful, providing practical everyday information as well as the finer details that serious watch lovers demand. Self-winding Ulysse Nardin calibre UN-32 movement COSC certified (accuracy) with time, GMT time and perpetual calendar. As is often the case with Ulysse Nardin, the mere presence of these various complications is not enough;

For example, the second time zone function has a quick setting function, which can be adjusted by one hour by pressing the left and right ceramic buttons located on the underside of the case. This makes it incredibly easy to keep track of a second time zone, while the GMT hand in 24-hour format keeps track of your home or reference time. Those familiar with other GMT watches will appreciate the convenience of this feature. Check out the perpetual calendar and you’ll find easy-to-read windows (not subdials) showing important information. At the top is a large date indicator framed by a stylized window, while below the dial, the date, month and year windows on the T-shaped dial are located. Exposed on the dial are the discs that maintain these functions. Year indicators on perpetual calendars are already rare, but Ulysse Nardin opted for a more efficient two-digit year indicator here. There is also an auxiliary seconds sub-dial on the dial (cut in half to indicate the seconds with either side of the hand). Note the Cotes de Geneve stripe finish on the dial.

The case style (43mm wide) is borrowed from last year’s highly innovative Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck watch. The fun design is available in 18 karat rose gold or platinum. However, the bezel and buttons are made of smooth black ceramic, which is very durable. Considering legibility on such a wild dial, Ulysse Nardin opted for two very large skeletonized hour and minute hands with large lumen tips, sized to complement the hour markers at 12 and 6 o’clock. The dial and case design work together to create something truly innovative and attractive. This design is not of immediate interest and then dismissed, but one of enduring curiosity, drawn to the practicality of the watch that embodies it.

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

From warm old wisdom to innovation

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE 11.59 has been announced as a new collection since 1972, the Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta, known in the watch world as Picasso.
Announced in the last year of participating in the SIHH (Geneva Salon) and became a hot topic. The Royal Oak is a product that begins to lead the digital generation that has never owned Audemars Piguet, with the aim of imagining a whole new style.

The design was done by creative designer Claude Emmanege. He also designed the Royal Oak concept. We draw inspiration from the museum pieces that Audemars Piguet has produced since its founding in 1875 and incorporate it into our designs. Just warm up the old and learn the new.

CEO Francois-Henri Benamias has been working on building the next-generation model to replace the Royal Oak replica since taking over in 2013, so it won’t mature into a core model that points to the company’s future direction. is not it.

The letters “CODE” in the model name correspond one by one,
C Challenge = Challenge,
O Own = Inheritance,
D Dare = Pursuit,
E Evolve = Evolution,
Joining the initials of the word makes “CODE” I am.
The number 11.59 refers to 11:59 pm at the end of the day, just before the new day.

Picking up AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE1159, the first impression is that the octagonal middle shell, the surface structure is extremely complex, and the shape of the carpet has been carefully polished and finely satin-finished, which is a target. In addition, the anti-reflective sapphire crystal with a double curved surface specially developed for this series is unique and playful.

Audemars Piguet is well represented in appearance with the challenge of the Code 11.59 challenge.

Combining machines with the latest machining precision and hand-finished by skilled craftsmen, the beauty of the structure can be beautifully expressed, even if complex, which is a remarkable point of Audemars Piguet watchmaking.

Weaving the outer surface of the case with various expressions at various angles and roundness has become a huge challenge even for skilled professional craftsmen. Each finished part is manually tilted like a mirror, with a polisher that lowers the corners of the surface and smoothes the edges. The more skilled the craftsmen, the more rounded and softer the curves they draw. Details such as the screws on the carpet are also carefully polished. perfect replica watches

The difficulty with angled finishing is to work evenly without breaking the harmony. Polishing and chamfering of the interior and exterior surfaces of the carpet, as well as invisible areas such as the interior of the carpet welded to the frame, are testament to the company’s technical prowess.

The prestigious Audemars Piguet factory, run by the founding family and not part of the main capital, is a free and unique artist who is not bound by preconceived notions or rules. While inheriting traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship, hand-finishing technology takes the CODE 11.59 to a new level.

“To break the rules, you have to master them first.”

Master the mold. Break the mold.

In recent years, the casual shift in fashion has been accelerating over the past few years due to climate change. The 2020 pandemic has increased the amount of telecommuting, many companies are trying to continue doing so, and the range of styles allowed in business scenarios is expanding. The time I spend at home has increased and now it has changed not only the way I work, but also my work and personal values. It is a stylish watch that can be opened or closed in unprecedented fashion in the coming era in response to changes in demand that are different from those in the past. quality replica watches

Richard Mille releases an Emoji watch

The new RM 88 Automatic Tourbillon has us smiling.

Richard Mille definitely knows how to make a splash — and how to piss off purists. As if to symbolically represent its blissful status as a lucrative watchmaker, and to gently lure any furious haters about it, the latest RM is a joyous collaboration with licensing firm Smiley. It comes just in time for the 50th anniversary of the world’s most famous hieroglyph.

As early as 1963, a man named Harvey Ball designed this famous yellow smiley face. Founded by Franklin Loufrani, Smiley was licensed in 1972 and now owns the rights to the little guy in over 100 countries. Smiley has licensed deals and collaborations with Dior, Fendi, Reebok, Champion and countless others including now Richard Mille. A “50th anniversary celebration” of licensing agreements is a bit of a stretch, but let’s just go with the flow for now.

The gold smiley face is sure to steal the show on this watch, but there’s a lot of crazy stuff going on here and I’m not quite sure where to start. The new in-house automatic movement CRMT7, which took three years to develop, is mostly kept out of sight, or rather hidden behind small fluffy clouds. Unlike most skeletonized watches, the movement is not the main visual feature, so RM designed a new skeletonized movement that leaves plenty of room for all the tiny gold carvings allegedly made by engraver Olivier Kuhn, although I am sure they are made by the borrower. replica men watches

We have the sun. a cactus. An umbrella. a pineapple. One rainbow—actually, two rainbows. This can happen if you randomly mash up the emojis in the keyboard and then press them into the case.

This RM is 3D. It’s kind of like a very expensive grown up Polly pocket. Each “sculpture” is done by hand. Microsprayed pineapples have tiny green PVD ​​coated leaves. The cactus spines have been hand polished to remove the PVD coating. Locate a flamingo’s eye with the world’s smallest beading tool.

The figurines are placed on the base plate and secured using various types of attachments. They’re placed at an angle so that the person who owns the thing can see as much of the surface area as possible — and ensures that each component remains truly three-dimensional. The smiling face itself is mounted on a decorative rainbow-lacquered bridge, giving the impression that it floats above the movement like a benevolent celestial body smiling at the watchmaker’s work.

There is a small seconds hand with the sun on one end and the lightning bolt on the other, making one revolution around the cloud every minute, a function indicator at 3 o’clock showing the winding (W) and setting (H) position when the hands are pulled out of the crown . The power reserve is about 50 hours. Richard Mille copy

If we turn to the caseback, we can see a lightning bolt-shaped rear axle made of grade 5 titanium and a sun-shaped oscillating weight in 3N gold. All of this is housed inside an ATZ (aluminum toughened zirconia) white ceramic and red gold case. The Velcro fastening strap is a yellow woven fabric in the original Smiley Yellow.

“Sorry, I think my heart stopped” – the real words that came out of my mouth when the RM88 Automatic Tourbillon Smiley was released a few weeks ago. Dramatic I know, but this is basically my dream watch. Colorful trinkets and golden smiley faces on the white ceramic case and yellow strap, the tourbillon is hidden behind the clouds. Am I dreaming? What acid clock hippie came up with this?

I love smiley faces. It’s played such a huge role in pop culture over the past five years, from the original “Have A Nice Day” slogan to LSD and Hacienda rave culture. Numerous changes have also gained cult status: Nirvana’s curved mouth and cross-eyed smiley face, Justin Bieber’s now Drew House logo, apparel from brands like Kapital and Market, and our much-loved iPhone emoji.

This iconic symbol has always been part of the zeitgeist. It’s never cool. Richard Mille made it even cooler.

I wish this watch was cheaper than a Miami house? certainly. Richard Mille watches are so youthful and playful that their extremely adult prices often seem like a hoax. Some of us would like to see a lower-priced spin-off, like Rolex from Tudor to RM, a secondary line if you will. Perhaps this is the key to making this imaginable adult fantasy world possible.

But as with many watches, the price is largely theoretical. As a wise man once said, ultra-expensive timepieces are seen as objects to be admired rather than owned.
