Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5159R hands-on operation

The Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5159R is based on the brand's two long traditions – the officer's case and the intricate watchmaking – that combine to create an amazing timepiece.Philippe Grand Complications Ref. 5520P Alarm Travel Time, Let us start with the Patek Philippe 5159R.

What is an officer watch?
The style of the officer's watch is reminiscent of the trench watch during the First World War (changing the pocket watch into a watch, adding the lugs and straps for the soldiers to wear on the wrist). The Patek Philippe Officer's watch has some defining features.

The first is that it must include a hinged dust cover on the back of the chassis. This means that the back cover is protected by a sturdy metal shield during normal wrist wear. However, the curtain can be pulled back when needed to view the amazing mechanical movement working inside the watch.

Another iconic detail of the watch is the style of the lugs, which are welded and include screws instead of spring strips to hold the strap in place. Again, this echoed how the military found a way to wear a watch on your wrist instead of hiding it in your pocket.Tonino Lamborghini Spyder 3004

Finally, officer watches usually have an oversized onion-style winding crown that is reminiscent of an old-fashioned pocket watch.

Ref. As a Grand Complication watch (a term used to describe the complexity of combining several watches into one watch). The 5159 is a perpetual calendar with a retrograde pointer. The perpetual calendar means that the watch not only displays time, day of the week, date, month, leap year, moon phase and, but it is automatically adjusted at the beginning of each month without the help of the wearer. The construction of a mechanical perpetual calendar mechanism requires a high level of skill. The mechanism can distinguish between 28 days, 29 days, 30 days and 31 days, not to mention 365 days or 366 days.

In addition to the perpetual calendar mechanism, the Patek Philippe Grand Complication 5159R also has a retrograde date pointer. Move counterclockwise along the 270 degree arc in the center of the dial and jump back to the number 1 at midnight on the last day of the month.RICHARD MILLE RM 50-03 McLaren F1 Replica

And reference. The 5159 contains a wealth of information, and the creamy white dial remains legible and refined in the true way of Patek Philippe. The center of the dial has radial guilloché patterns, and the Roman numerals of the hours contrast with the Arabic numerals of minutes/second, adding a fascinating detail. The day and month are displayed through small windows at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively. The year year cycle is also displayed through a small hole, but just below the retrograde date display, the beautiful moon phase disk is above 6 o'clock.
