DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Skeleton Reference 5180/1R timepiece showcases the artistry of Patek Philippe's watchmakers through its captivating skeletonized movement. The ultra-thin Caliber 240 SQU movement, renowned for its svelte profile at merely 2.53mm in height, takes center stage. Crafted from 18k rose gold, the movement’s bridges are meticulously skeletonized and adorned with hand-engraved decorations. This intricate engraving process, demanding an exceptional level of skill and focus from the watchmaker, takes approximately 130 hours to complete on a single movement. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the 22k gold off-center mini-rotor, which for the first time on this caliber, features the engraved Patek Philippe Seal logo. This personalized touch serves as a testament to the heritage and legacy upheld by the manufacture.

The 39 mm rose gold case complements the skeletonized movement, offering a clear view of the intricate inner workings of the watch. While the skeletonized design prioritizes visual intrigue, the timepiece doesn't compromise on functionality. The sapphire crystal case back offers a glimpse into the movement’s mechanics, and the watch maintains a 30-meter water resistance rating. The rose gold bracelet with a fold-over clasp ensures a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist.

The Caliber 240 SQU automatic movement powering the watch boasts a 48-hour minimum power reserve. The movement oscillates at a frequency of 3Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour), ensuring consistent and reliable timekeeping. The intricate play of mechanics and aesthetics within the Patek Philippe Skeleton Reference 5180/1R embodies the pinnacle of watchmaking artistry.
