The new Ref. 5226G-001 annual calendar travel time from Patek Philippe replica

Replica watches: Two useful and patented complications come together for the first time: the Annual Calendar (which requires manual correction only once a year) and the Travel Time system for the display of a second time zone.

Patek Philippe fake combines two of its patented complications for the first time in a single watch: the annual calendar (which requires manual correction only once a year) and the Travel Time system for displaying a second time zone. The result is a travel watch whose date display is synchronized with the respective local time. Simultaneously adjusts the date when correcting the time zone.

The new caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H automatic movement is endowed with eight patents. To package it in style, the manufacture created an all-new Calatrava box. Its flanks are guillochéd with the inimitable stud pattern, and its dial is framed in the vintage genre inspired by old photographic cameras.

The same unique design also adorns Ref. 5226G-001 Calatrava, a no-complication watch powered by the caliber 26-330 S C automatic movement.

For Patek Philippe, the technical perfection and the aesthetic beauty of a watch have always had the same meaning. The composition of the movement, the case and the dial is always at the center of the manufacture’s creations. With its automatic movement featuring two exclusive functions, its round Calatrava case with unique design and decorative elements, and an inimitable dial, the new Ref. 5326G-00 Annual Calendar Travel Time offers a perfect example of an approach that combines all facets. of watchmaking art with balanced elegance. replica watches

In 1996, Patek Philippe merged all of its Geneva workshops in Plan-les-Ouates under one roof and attracted attention with the launch of its Patented Annual Calendar.

It is a full day/date/month calendar that only has to be manually corrected once a year on March 1st. To develop the system that automatically distinguishes between months with 30 and 31 days, engineers designed an innovative mechanism based largely on wheels and pinions.

Since then, the Annual Calendar has become a prominent feature among the manufacture’s complicated timepieces.

Today it is featured in a wide selection of men’s and ladies’ wristwatches and is also available in various versions of the self-winding flyback chronograph model. In the ref. 5033, Patek Philippe even combined the annual calendar with a minute repeater movement.

It was followed in 1997 by a new technical launch, this time in the domain of travel replica watches. The unique Travel Time mechanism features a clutch based on a Patek Philippe patent granted in 1959. The ingenious system indicates a second time zone with a central seconds hand. With two pushers on the left side of the case, it can be adjusted in one-hour increments in both directions without affecting the precise speed of the movement. Today, the Travel Time function is also available on various watch models, including the automatic Ref. 5990 Flyback Chronograph or the Ref. 5520 Travel Time with alarm.

For the first time, Patek Philippe has expanded its range of useful complications by combining the annual calendar and travel time in a single watch.

The manufacture started from the ultra-thin automatic caliber 31-260 which had been launched in 2011 in the Ref. 5235 Annual Calendar Regulator (31-260 REG QA) and then modified in 2021 for the Ref. 5236 Perpetual Calendar Online (31- 260PS QL).

Among the optimized features introduced in 2021, the new caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement retains the 20% gain in torque of the barrel, the increased charging power of the mini-rotor thanks to the use of platinum, the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 semi-oscillations per hour), and a reduction wheel that disengages the automatic winding when the watch is manually wound, reducing wear. Power-wise, the performance of the new movement was further enhanced with a minute wheel suspended between ruby ​​bearings to increase efficiency.

The connection between the annual calendar and the travel time function involved several technical challenges. It was not just about accommodating both mechanisms in the same case. They had to interact in such a way that the displayed date corresponded to the local time, thus the time at the watch user’s location. And it may need to be adjusted when the time zone is corrected. Thus, in the new caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement, the annual calendar is controlled by the travel time function and it is the local time wheel that drives the calendar. Connoisseurs will be pleased to note that the beginning of the Ref. 5531 World Time minute repeater (2017) has been retained. It is the first minute repeater to always sound local time because the world time mechanism controls the minute repeater.replica watches

For the new ref. 5326G-001, Patek Philippe also redesigned the Travel Time function.

While the basic principle with two hour hands from the center (solid hand for local time, perforated hand for local time) is maintained, the two common time zone pushers on the left flank of the case have been replaced with a mechanism. rope stem adjustment that has three positions. It premiered in 2021 with the Aquanaut Luce Travel Time (Ref. 5269/200R-001). The wearer simply needs to pull the crown out to the middle position and then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the local time hand in one-hour increments in either direction without affecting the precise speed of movement.

Aesthetic reasons favored the decision for this understated crown-setting system: Patek Philippe wanted an elegant Calatrava-style design to emphasize the special motif on the case flanks. Time setting in the local time zone is done in the classic way with the crown in the outermost position.

The caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement has a stop-seconds mechanism that allows the time to be set with an accuracy of one second.

This feature is only active while the crown is in its outermost position.

This prevents movement from stopping when selecting a new time zone and preserves movement speed accuracy. When the owner is not traveling, the two hour hands can overlap with the crown and will look like a single hand.

To ensure that the clock always displays the date that matches the respective local time, the engineers also had to modify the mechanism of the annual calendar.

In a conventional annual calendar, the movement of the dial around midnight takes about 90 minutes,

so a date shift could occur if the time zone is adjusted in this time frame. To ensure that users see the correct date for longer, Patek Philippe engineers shortened the display advance of the annual calendar discs by a factor of 5 to approximately 18 minutes.

Thanks to a partially toothed cam system connected to the hour wheel, the 24-hour wheel executes its rotation in four phases instead of continuously:

180° rotation in 3 hours (around midnight), 9 hours stop, rotation 180° in 3 hours (around noon), 9 hours off. This improves the coordination of the calendar change phase with local time. But the word acceleration also suggests higher power consumption.

To optimize the efficiency, precision, durability, safety, and operational convenience of the caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement,

engineers developed several innovations that resulted in eight patent applications. These technical improvements allow, for example, to reduce energy consumption and the wear of certain components,

to go from 30 to 1 and from 1 to 30 without desynchronizing the calendar when adjusting the time zone, to avoid changes and double jumps of the dials or avoid damaging parts of the movement if the moon phase,

month or day of the week are corrected in a time period where this is explicitly inadvisable. Perfect Fake Watches UK Shop

The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the architecture of the caliber 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement with elegantly cut and gently curved bridges.

It offers a better view of the wheels of the base movement and the exquisite hand-executed finish that reflects the strict guidelines of the Patek Philippe Hallmark.

To accommodate this mechanical movement with its exclusive functions,

Patek Philippe created a new white gold case with a diameter of 41 millimeters. With its slightly chamfered bezel and polished, sloped lugs,

it underlines the graceful and timeless elegance of the Calatrava’s design, yet expresses its own distinctive personality. The center of the case features Patek Philippe’s signature stud pattern across its entire circumference. The subtly shimmering pattern of tiny pyramids was displayed on the bezel of the famous Ref. 3919 Calatrava “Clous de Paris” in 1985; it was produced for more than 20 years

and became one of the best-known models in the watchmaking world.

In 2021, it experienced a strong comeback in the new and very contemporary Ref. 6119 Calatrava “Clous de Paris” which is made in rose gold and white gold. In the case of Ref. 5326G-001 Travel Time Annual Calendar, it offers a new perspective on this highly refined element of Patek Philippe style. To allow the stud pattern to gracefully adorn the entire side of the case,

Patek Philippe conceived an exceptional case design in which the strap lugs are attached to the case back. replica watches

Another unique facet of Ref. 5326G-001 is its vintage-style dial.

It is entirely made by Cadrans Flückiger in Saint-Imier,

a dial specialist who has been owned by Patek Philippe since 2004. The dial is charcoal gray with a fine gradation around

the periphery and has a slightly granular structure reminiscent of old photo camera cases.

it is associated with escapades, wanderlust, and exploration. The time of day is displayed by applied Arabic numerals in white gold with luminous beige overlays. Local time hours and minutes are displayed with luminous white gold “seringue” hands that with their long tips resemble syringes.

A perforated “seringue” hand indicates the hours of home time.

The three openings of the annual calendar (day of the week and month on a line at 12 o’clock, date at 6 o’clock) show easily legible black inscriptions on white backgrounds. Two small round windows marked “LOCAL” at 8 o’clock

and “HOME” at 4 o’clock are day/night indicators for home time and local time, respectively. This balanced arrangement is complemented by subsidiary seconds that sweep the moonphase aperture at 6 o’clock. The calendar indications can be adjusted with the help of small correctors on the case band located near the respective functions:

day at 10 o’clock, month at 2 o’clock, date at 4 o’clock and moon phase at 8 o’clock . The vintage look is emphasized by a slightly raised case design sapphire crystal. replica watches

The new ref. 5326G-001 Travel Time Annual Calendar is delivered with two interchangeable straps, one in beige calfskin with a nubuck texture (original version),

the other in black calfskin with an embossed textile finish and beige decorative stitching (additional strap). Both straps underline the vintage style of the dial. Both ensure comfort and security with an 18-carat white gold folding clasp.

In its quest to repeatedly develop new features and complications,

Patek Philippe draws on more than 180 years of uninterrupted experience to deliver exceptional and reliable models.

The new ref. 5326G-001 is a good example.

When creating its replica watches, the manufacture always uses all its know-how for the benefit of its customers. It is resolutely passed down from one generation to the next

and belongs to the rich heritage of technical progress crowned by more than a hundred patents. The annual calendar and the Travel Time mechanism perfectly illustrate Patek Philippe’s customer-centric development philosophy;

now, they have been united in the new Ref. 5326G-001.

For those who especially appreciate the exclusive design of the new Ref. 5326G-001, Patek Philippe can offer another watch from the Calatrava collection with the same aesthetic appearance for the case and dial

but with a slightly smaller diameter (40 millimeters) and without Additional functions. This Brand New Calatrava Ref. 5226G-001 in white gold with a studded guilloché pattern on the case band is powered by caliber 26-330 S C automatic movement with central hour, minute and second hands and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. It is also delivered with two interchangeable straps similar to those that come with Ref. 5326G-001. It is another perfect fusion of movement, case and dial in the Patek Philippe manner.
