Watches and Wonders 2025: Patek Philippe New Novelties

Patek Philippe presents fifteen new models brimming with creativity and savoir-faire. Timed for the grand annual rendezvous of Watches & Wonders 2025, the Genevan manufacture is unveiling a splendid array of new models, strengthening every segment of its vast collection. It affirms its technical mastery, particularly with three new movements equipping exceptional pieces: a self-winding Quadruple Complication for connoisseurs, a desk clock with perpetual calendar and weekly calendar endowed with a 31-day power reserve, and a new Calatrava with instantaneous day and date displays and an 8-day power reserve. This 2025 vintage is also notable for subtle new aesthetic interpretations combining the quest for timeless elegance with extraordinary attention to fine workmanship.

By combining their talents, Antoine Norbert de Patek and Jean Adrien Philippe devoted themselves to an ambitious vocation: designing and making the “finest watches in the world”, in terms of both technique and aesthetic. For the four generations of the Stern family presiding over the manufacture’s destiny since 1932, this passion for excellence has remained the keyword, and the fifth generation, taking shape today, will have exactly the same mission: to guarantee the brand’s continuity over the long term, its independence and its outstanding creative potential, a regards both the movements and the exterior features. The fifteen new introductions presented in this spring of 2025 illustrate, yet again, this unique alliance of tradition and innovation –while always respecting the ultra-strict principles of the Patek Philippe Seal.

The first expertise to be honored is that of the Grand Complications, one of the fields in which Patek Philippe has reined supreme since the founding of the manufacture in 1839.

This year 2025 sees the current collection welcoming an exceptional watch destined for connoisseurs, the Quadruple Complication Reference 5308G-001. Presented as a world first in a limited edition in platinum at the Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition “Watch Art” Tokyo in 2023, this self-winding timepiece unites a minute repeater, a split-seconds chronograph and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays. Its new caliber R CHR 27 PS QI movement is particularly notable for its optimized performances and two patented innovations concerning the split-seconds mechanism. This feat of miniaturization and energy management is housed in an elegant white-gold case framing a ice-blue sunburst dial.

Patek Philippe will also present a surprise return to the tradition of the desk clock. Inspired by models created in the 1920s and 1930s, the new desk clock with perpetual calendar and weekly calendar Reference 27000M-001 features a completely new manually wound high-performance caliber, the subject of nine patent applications, with a 31-day power reserve, rate accuracy within a range of + 1 to – 1 seconds per 24 hours, and ease of operation worthy of a timepiece conceived in the twenty-first century. The cabinet in 925 silver is embellished with panels in green Grand Feu flinqué enamel over a swirling guilloché motif. Prior to the clock’s entry into the collection, Patek Philippe donated a unique preview model to the charitable auction Only Watch in 2021.

The perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand features among Patek Philippe’s most sought-after models. The manufacture has now reinterpreted this emblematic Grand Complication in a new version in white gold with an original modern style, its sapphire crystal dial with gray metallization offering a veiled glimpse of the watch’s mechanical heart. The bezel is adorned with the famous Clous de Paris or hobnail guilloché motif – one of the most beautiful symbols of the Patek Philippe style. Beating within this Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Reference 6159G-001 is the caliber 26-330 S QR self-winding movement, which may be admired through a sapphire-crystal case back.

Another flagship model, the split-seconds chronograph Reference 5370, brings out its first version in rose gold, harmonizing with a dial in brown Grand Feu enamel and subsidiary dials and a tachymeter scale in beige champlevé enamel. The caliber CHR 29-535 PS combines its traditional architecture (manually wound, column wheel, toothed-wheel horizontal clutch) with seven patented innovations, including one for the reworked split-seconds mechanism. This new Split-Seconds Chronograph Reference 5370R-001 is worn on an alligator-leather strap in shiny dark chestnut brown, endowed with a new patented three-prong fold-over clasp introduced this year on several models in the collection.

A splendid surprise also for feminine devotees of Grand Complications: the Twenty~4 collection is welcoming its very first complication, namely a perpetual calendar. Thanks to the caliber 240 Q ultra-thin self-winding movement the case is as elegantly slim as ever. The calendar indications are displayed by hands in three subsidiary dials accompanied by an aperture for the moon phase, together composing one of the most recognizable of the Patek Philippe perpetual-calendar faces. The first round Twenty~4 that is not gem-set, this perpetual calendar offers a choice of two versions in rose gold: Reference 7340/1R-001 with a silvered dial adorned with a double vertical and horizontal satin-brushed finish recalling the sheen of wild shantung silk, and Reference 7340/1R-010, its olive-green sunburst dial both modern and refined.

The manufacture is also extending its range of complications useful in daily life, a field in which it is already well positioned, whether in terms of calendar watches or travel watches, with mechanisms offering optimal ease of use and legibility.

In 2025 the spotlight is on the Calatrava 8 Day Reference 5328G-001, equipped with instantaneous displays of the day (by an aperture) and the date (by a hand) at 6 o’clock and a large power reserve of eight days, indicated at 12 o’clock. The new caliber 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J manually wound movement unites a classic architecture with several technical innovations, including a Pulsomax® escapement in Silinvar®. The two barrels connected in series guarantee that the watch will function with perfect precision for eight full days, with a ninth day “in reserve”. Characterized by its contemporary aesthetic, this timepiece comes in a white-gold case, its caseband adorned with the Clous de Paris or hobnail guilloché motif, framing a blue dial presenting its displays in a modern, original style on a vertical axis.

The renowned Annual Calendar, invented and patented by Patek Philippe in 1996, offers a new model in rose gold that is the first non gemset version for this reference, with a 38 mm diameter that suits every wrist. The warm sheen of rose gold combines elegantly with a dial in chestnut-brown adorned with a double vertical and horizontal satin-brushed “shantung” finish and a calfskin leather strap embossed with a “denim” motif. Beating at the heart of this Annual Calendar Reference 4946R-001 is the caliber 26-330 S QA LU self-winding movement, displaying the day, date and month, and requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of the month of February.

In the new Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Reference 5524G-010 in white gold, Patek Philippe reinterprets another of its great successes –of aeronautic inspiration –by endowing it with the vintage charm of a dial in ivory lacquer, worn on a strap in a composite material, in khaki green embossed with a textile motif. This original and elegant travel watch is powered by the caliber 26-330 S C FUS self-winding movement, notable for the ease of use of its system for displaying a second time zone. The date display by a hand at the 6 o’clock position adjusts automatically to the local time, backwards or forwards as required. The two time-zone pushers feature a patented screw-down safety system preventing any risk of accidentally putting the local-time function out of order.

The choice of so-called “simple watches”) also continues to grow, with designs full of character perfectly set off by their impeccable finish, down to the smallest detail.

Quintessence of timeless elegance, the Calatrava collection offers a new model in platinum enriched with the vintage touch of a dial in rose-gilt opaline with a pure, understated design. This Calatrava Reference 6196P-001, its polished case adorned with satin-brushed flanks, is notable for its smooth beveled bezel and slender tapering lugs forming a harmonious link to the strap in shiny-chocolate alligator leather. The caliber 30-255 PS manually wound movement measures out the time. Its extremely slender profile combines with a 65-hour power reserve and a “stop-second” function enabling the time to be set to the nearest second.

The Cubitus, an innovative expression of the “elegant sporty” style, was launched in October 2024. It offers a new medium size of 40 mm in diameter adapting to every wrist and available in two versions: Cubitus Reference 7128/1G-001 in white gold with a blue-gray sunburst dial; and Cubitus Reference 7128/1R-001 in rose gold with a brown sunburst dial. The bold, unique geometry of the case, a square with rounded corners and an elegant profile, is emphasized by a play of “vertical satin-brushed” and “polished” finishes. The caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement, equipped with a stop-seconds function, has a central rotor in 21K gold adorned with the same horizontal relief pattern as the dial –a signature feature of the Cubitus models. The gold bracelet is fitted with a lockable adjustment system and a patented Patek Philippe fold-over clasp secured by four independent catches.

Patek Philippe plays on color in two new versions of the Ladies’ Nautilus with a quartz movement and a case in white gold measuring 32 mm in diameter. The dial, adorned with the pattern of little waves typical of this collection, is lacquered in an elegant shade of azure blue. The case catches the eye with its alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes. A row of 46 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.8 ct) illuminates the bezel. The Ladies’ Nautilus Reference 7010G-013 is distinguished by its strap in a composite material matching the dial, with a textile motif and a Nautilus fold-over clasp in white gold. The Ladies’ Nautilus Reference 7010/1G-013 is worn on a bracelet in white gold fitted with a lockable adjustment system and a Patek Philippe patented fold-over clasp secured by four independent catches.

This new Patek Philippe vintage is crowned by a splendid testimony to the jeweler’s skill and creativity in this area. The designers of the new Nautilus Haute Joaillerie Reference 5811/1460G-001 played artistically on the shapes of the precious stones to emphasize the iconic design of the Nautilus. A row of baguette-cut diamonds brings out the rounded octagon of the bezel, while rows of brilliant-cut diamonds adorn the dial. Baguette-cut diamonds enrich the central links of the bracelet, while the main links present perfectly regular rows of brilliant-cut diamonds. In total, this piece is set with 1,285 brilliant-cut diamonds (6.43 ct) and 195 baguette-cut diamonds (13.27 ct). This Haute Joaillerie version of an iconic timepiece is powered by the caliber 26-330 S self-winding movement with “stop seconds”.

Having made its global debut as a limited edition in platinum on the occasion of the Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition “Watch Art” Tokyo in 2023 (5308P-010), Reference 5308 is entering the manufacture’s current collection. A true feat of miniaturization and energy management, this self- winding Quadruple Complication unites a minute repeater, a split-seconds chronograph endowed with two new patented mechanisms and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays. The new caliber R CHR 27 PS QI movement with optimized performances greets the world in an elegant white-gold case with pierced lugs, harmonizing with an-ice-blue sunburst dial.

In 2008, Patek Philippe reaffirmed its supreme mastery of the Grand Complications by launching as a feature of its regular collection Reference 5207, an innovative timepiece uniting a minute repeater, a tourbillon and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays whose original concept was confirmed by two patents (caliber R TO 27 PS QI). With its modern design, enhanced by a sporty touch, this wristwatch was the first of a new breed of Grand Complication in regular production, intended for daily wear.

In 2011, the manufacture continued this saga of exceptional pieces by presenting Reference 5208, a self-winding watch combining a minute repeater, a mono-pusher chronograph and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays. The first Patek Philippe Triple Complication wristwatch to include a chronograph, Reference 5208 also stood out as one of the rare ultra-complicated watches to be self-winding. To enable the caliber R CH 27 PS QI movement to fulfill all its functions precisely and reliably, the manufacture’s engineers had to innovate, notably by placing the chronograph mechanism between the base movement (with minute repeater) and the perpetual calendar module –which proved an extremely complex task. In 2017, a unique version of this Triple Complication in titanium (5208T-010), donated to the charitable auction Only Watch, went under the hammer for 6.2 million Swiss francs.

Patek Philippe is enriching its range of complications useful in everyday life with a new Calatrava model endowed with instantaneous displays of the day (in an aperture) and the date (by hand) at 6 o’clock and a large power reserve of eight days indicated at 12 o’clock. Equipped with the new manually wound caliber 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J, this timepiece with its decidedly modern aesthetic combines a case in white gold, its caseband adorned with the “Clous de Paris” or hobnail guilloché motif, with a blue dial on which the displays are arranged in an original, highly legible manner on a vertical axis.

Even though they do not appear in the classic catalogue of horological complications, the large power reserves are genuine technical feats, especially in the confined space of a wristwatch. The difficulty is not just that, once wound, the watch must be able to function longer than the usual timepiece, but also –and especially –that it must retain its rate accuracy and stability for the duration of this increased autonomy.

The Patek Philippe engineers have risen brilliantly to this challenge on a number of occasions. In 2000, the manufacture marked the dawn of the third millennium with the 10 Day Power Reserve Reference 5100, a limited edition of 3000 watches, endowed with a rectangular case inspired by the famous “Manta Ray” Reference 2554 of 1954. The world’s first chronometer wristwatch with a power reserve of 240
hours, this manually wound timepiece heralded a trend that others have followed. In 2003, the regular collection welcomed “ 10 Day Tourbillon” Reference 5101P, a platinum watch with a manually wound “form” movement and a rectangular case with tiered flanks inspired by the Art Deco period. A new interpretation of this retro-modern design came out six years later, in rose gold. The year 2013 saw the unveiling of the Gondolo “8 Days, Day & Date Indication” Reference 5200, with a rectangular caliber 28-20 REC 8J PS IRM C J manually wound movement with instantaneously jumping day and date –an additional challenge in terms of energy.

Patent taken over from caliber 240 PS CI J LU (Reference 5822P-001, 2024)

• Cam winding wheel with dual-function spring (European patent application EP4312083)

Designed for the driving of the cam by the 24-hour wheel, this system of a winding wheel with a dual-function spring makes it possible to overcome a higher friction force (torque) while guaranteeing the perfect precision of the date jump at midnight. A disconnecting system equipped with a flexible finger-piece that retracts when the 24-hour cam hits the beak of the large lever also enables the user to adjust the time at any moment, backwards or forwards, even during the passage of midnight, without risk of damaging the movement.
