Introducing: Three New Patek Philippe Aquanauts – Including A ... (HODINKEE)

The Aquanaut Flyback Chronograph gets the rose gold treatment, and Patek brings the annual calendar to the Aquanaut for the first time.

Patek's put the moonphase under 12 o'clock, and the month and day sit at 9 and 3 o'clock, respectively. And I might just love it. It's in a 40mm Aquanaut case, which Patek refers to as its ladies' line. It joins the steel 5968A and a pair of white gold 5968G models as Patek continues to fill out its collection of Aquanaut chronographs. It's based on the 26-330 S C Patek introduced in 2019 (and used in the last generation of the 5711 and this year's 6007G release, among others). Through the sapphire caseback, you can see Patek's self-winding flyback chronograph CH 28-520 C. Just a couple of millimeters smaller, Patek has added the new Aquanaut Luce reference 5261R. It powers the central chronograph hand and the Aquanaut's signature 60-minute counter at 6 o'clock. That means the 42mm case has 120 meters of water resistance, and the brown dial has a sunburst effect that ends in a black rim towards the dial's edge. First up is the Aquanaut Chronograph 5968R to the collection. Loading... It's the year of rose gold for the Aquanaut.

Introducing: The Patek Philippe Calatrava 24-Hour Travel Time ... (HODINKEE)

Making the 24-hour display possible is the new caliber 21-260 PS FUS, a micro-rotor movement with 48 hours of power reserve. Instead of using pushers to adjust ...

Again, it's a balance between traditional and sporty, much the same way the new 5224R balances traditional inspiration with a modern complication. A real Calatrava, in other words. Nowadays, few brands are doing a travel watch like Patek Philippe, and this iteration balances dressy and sporty. The middle position allows setting of the local time in either direction in one-hour steps, while the outermost position allows simultaneous setting of home time and local time. Since the dial is large, its contrasting finishes – circular striated center, circular, satin-finished hour track, and a snailed small seconds – give the design balance. You'll also notice that noon is placed at 12 o'clock, not 6 o'clock as would usually be the case. Instead of using pushers to adjust the dual-time zone display, as is common in other Patek travel times, the new ref. Loading... [for Gondolo pocket watches](https://collectability.com/product/patek-philippe-chronometro-gondolo-rose-gold-24-hour-pocket-watch/), one of which now sits in the Patek Philippe Museum – so it's a nice historical nod to revive the 24-hour indication in a modern reference. Well, here's that signature complication in another form: the Patek Philippe Calatrava 24-Hour Display Travel Time ref. 5924G](https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippes-first-pilot-style-travel-time-chronograph), a new take on a watch from Patek that combines a chronograph with a travel time function, the latter a complication that's become something of a signature for the brand.

First Look: Patek Philippe Delivers Color And Sportiness With The ... (aBlogtoWatch)

The cases of the new Calatrava 6007Gs are all white gold (the 6007A was in steel), with full polishing and a wide bezel and domed sapphire crystal. Measuring ...

With color, texture, and perhaps the sportiest strap the brand has ever offered, this is a Patek Philippe I can get on board with. The movement beats at 28,800 with a quoted power reserve between 35 and 45 hours (the lower end of which is rather dismal for a modern movement). With a newer movement, black backgrounds with pops of color, and an exceptionally sporty strap, the new Patek Philippe Calatrava 6007Gs represent a more exuberant side of the brand. The cases of the new Calatrava 6007Gs are all white gold (the 6007A was in steel), with full polishing and a wide bezel and domed sapphire crystal. The date is unobtrusive and replaces the 3 o’clock numeral. In 2020, to celebrate its move to a new facility, Patek Philippe release the Calatrava 6007A, a sporty take on one of its most classic models.

A fitting sequel to the Travel Time dual time-zone model introduced in 2021 and a self-winding chronograph version the year after, an Aquanaut Luce model has been unveiled with a patented Annual Calendar. Also unveiled in Geneva, as part of Patek Philippe’s “Rare Handcrafts 2023” collection being presented at its Salons in Geneva from April 1 to 15, was a pocket watch featuring a leopard, rendered in marquetry. Both pack a self-winding movement uniting a holy trinity of complications: a fly-back chronograph, a Travel Time dual time zone function, and the date indicated by a hand. The racing scene, with Lake Geneva’s Jet d’eau fountain as the backdrop, is rendered in Grand Feu cloisonné enamel, requiring 17 enamel colors as well as 40 cm of gold wire and silver leaf. Now, the manufacture has reimagined the design of that model’s double-face reversible case in white and rose gold (Reference 6300GR-001). Meanwhile, the Rare Handcrafts World Time Minute Repeater (Reference 5531G-001) becomes the company’s first such model in white gold.

Patek Philippe Reveals Its Watches & Wonders Offerings (HYPEBEAST)

Patek Philippe Reveals Its Watches & Wonders Offerings: Spanning an array of references from the Calatrava, Grandmaster Chime, and more.

Bearing many similar attributes to the previous two models, the 5968R Aquanaut Chronograph women’s watch features a sportier design with a complementing CH 28‑520 C calibre. Similar to the 5261R, its dial is embossed with the distinctive Aquanaut pattern, while this model sets itself apart with a taupe colorway and a bezel set with 48 diamonds. Arriving in an iconic rose gold case with a rounded octagonal bezel, the watch exudes sporty-chic appeal when completed with the blue-gray strap made of composite material. Adorning the brown lacquered dial are floral motifs in a mix of matte and shiny finishes, which pairs elegantly with the chocolate brown calfskin leather straps. Featuring a graphic-style design, the watches are outfitted with ebony black dials that spotlight a “carbon” pattern embossed center display. Housed in a 42mm white gold case, the dials are either doused in a lacquered khaki green or presented in a sunburst blue-gray and accompanied by matching leather straps. Pairing a sunburst dial in a brilliant blue with a warm, rose-gold case, this new Patek chronograph exudes not only timeless appeal but also with added contemporary flair. At the lower center mark, a cabochon 5-minute marker is present, completing the legible dial with a polished, and refined look. The dial is finished with a translucent enamel coating, accompanied by a peacock blue leather strap, as well as an additional orange option. Ref. Marrying aspects of Haute Horlogerie with Haute Joaillerie, the Ref 6300/403G-001 is an exquisite timepiece set with 118-baguette-cut emeralds, as well as 291 baguette-cut diamonds. For a seamless look, the cufflinks echo the overall color scheme with matching materials and are finished with a hand-guilloched hobnail pattern and a rose gold Calatrava cross.

It is true that the Calatrava, in the nine decades since it was launched, has seen a huge number of iterations in different sizes and with a multitude of functions and complications, always retaining an air of elegance and sophistication. Yet that is exactly what he has done with three new references launched today. 5711 in 2021, he followed up by saying that he had other ideas already in place – one of them being a brand-new collection created from scratch.

Sporty codes reign in the 5924G, with two new models of the Calatrava Pilot equipped with a flyback chronograph and Travel Time function, with the first chronograph model in the line cutting a distinctive silhouette. Time, too, is the focus of the Patek Philippe 5224R, which draws its 24-hour display in elegant gold numerals and a local time hand in rose gold, elegant hues also reflected in the 5905R. In the Patek Philippe 5178G, the focus shifts to artistry, with a hand-guilloched dial casting a hypnotising swirl, an intricate foil for the alligator strap in either peacock blue or shiny orange.
