Quick TakeThe Patek Philippe Reference 5271/12P-010 is a watch that is more than just a timepiece; it's a statement piece. The watch's bold red dial and dazzling ruby gemstone setting exude an aura of luxury and sophistication. But beneath its glamorous exterior lies a heart of exceptional engineering. The chronograph movement with a perpetual calendar complication is a testament to the skill and dedication of Patek Philippe's watchmakers. This watch is a perfect choice for the discerning watch collector who appreciates both style and substance.

DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Reference 5271/12P-010 is a luxurious timepiece that combines a chronograph function with a perpetual calendar complication. The watch is crafted from platinum, a precious metal known for its durability and hypoallergenic properties. The case measures 41mm in diameter and 12.7mm in height, making it a substantial timepiece that is sure to command attention. Despite its size, the watch’s relatively thin profile ensures a comfortable wearing experience. The case is topped with a sapphire crystal, which is known for its exceptional scratch resistance. The sapphire crystal is available in two versions: solid or with an exhibition window that allows the wearer to admire the intricate workings of the movement. The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear but not for submersion.

The heart of the Reference 5271/12P-010 is the CH 29-535 PS Q caliber, a masterpiece of Swiss watchmaking. This complex movement is manually wound, meaning that it requires the wearer to periodically wind the mainspring in order to keep the watch running. The CH 29-535 PS Q caliber is a chronograph movement, which means that it can be used to measure elapsed time. The chronograph function features a central chronograph hand, a 30-minute counter, and a seconds counter. The movement also boasts a perpetual calendar complication, which automatically displays the correct day, date, month, and leap year, even in leap years. The perpetual calendar typically only requires user intervention once every century to account for the occasional exceptions in leap year cycles. The CH 29-535 PS Q caliber is composed of 456 parts and is adorned with 33 jewels. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph) and offers a power reserve of 55-65 hours when fully wound.

The dial of the Reference 5271/12P-010 is a lacquered red masterpiece that is certain to turn heads. The red color is deep and rich, and it is accentuated by a black-gradient rim that adds a touch of sophistication. The dial features gold applied hour markers and a set of hands that are also made of gold. The hands are treated with luminescent material, making them legible in low-light conditions. The subdials for the chronograph and the perpetual calendar are integrated seamlessly into the design of the dial, ensuring that the watch remains elegant and legible.
