The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175 will celebrate its 175th anniversary
On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the brand's inception in 2014, Patek Philippe released one of the most complicated watches of all time. Undoubtedly, the company's iconic Henry Graves super complex pocket watch was originally delivered in the 1930s and will be re-auctioned in November 2014. The flagship timepiece that marks the 175th anniversary of the brand is called the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175 (Ref. 5175R-001). This is a very complicated watch with two dials and 20 complex functions - according to Patek Philippe for eight years. Development results.
For Patek Philippe, “very complicated” is a term we are used to hearing – for all the other most notable works, check out our article on the 17 rarest and most expensive Patek Philippe watches. However, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime is located at the very top of the food chain, its huge 47.4 mm wide and 16.1 mm thick case and incredibly complex movements including 1,366 components - including three cymbals and three hammers, and on two dials A total of 20 complications were shown. The case is also reversible, which means it can be flipped. The movement also features a unique 3.5 Hz (25,200 bph) frequency.HUBLOT MASTERPIECE MP-02 KEY OF TIME 902.OX.1138.RX replica Watch
In addition to the amazing numbers, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime has a very new one, and we should say that Patek unexpected the unexpected novelty: a rotating case. Like some of the most sophisticated pocket watches in the manufacturer, "GMC" can display all the relevant information about its many complex functions on one, not two, but two dials. Heavy-carved 18k rose gold case - consisting of 214 parts - hangs between the ornately decorated lugs, the case can be rotated on the vertical axis, allowing the owner to wear any of the straps. The two dials face up - no need to change the strap, as seen on other "double-sided" watches. The idea is to let the wearer make any party in the case a "front line."
The main dial of the Grandmaster Chime 5175 shows the hours and minutes on the centrally mounted pointer - as normal - however it also hides many instructions, including retrograde pointers and small round holes. First, the large sub-dial at 12 o'clock is used to set the alarm - with a small bell-shaped hole indicating whether this feature is enabled or disabled. In addition to the large sub-surface at the 6 o'clock position reserved for the moon phase and date indication, this side also shows the power reserve of the 9-point movement and the sonar complex power at 3 o'clock.wholesale BREMONT replica watches
On the two smaller displays around the sub-dial of the date, you can track the settings of the ringing mechanism: on the left is the display of the Sonent, Grande or Petite settings, and on the right, you can see the momentary function of the crown: " R" stands for winding, "A" stands for setting the alarm, and "H" stands for setting time. Last but not least, the two tiny apertures scattered at the two o'clock and three o'clock positions are used for the diurnal indicator of the second time zone and the "sounding mechanism isolator display" (used to indicate when it is safe Wind) movement without damaging the intricate sounding mechanism). Patek Philippe once again showed all the indicators on the 5175 watch in a logical and relatively easy to read way.
Speaking of this, let's discuss the complex function of the same name of this watch: the bell. Patek Philippe is very proud of its ringing watch - company president Thierry Stern is said to hear every manufacturer produced before sending the timepiece to the retailer and its future owners. Watch. Therefore, it is expected that Patek will add a launch mechanism to their 175th anniversary model - we are not disappointed. The highly complex and completely internally designed and manufactured movement has a unique sounding mechanism: in addition to large and small sounds (automatic ringtones per hour and quarter) and minute repeaters, it also includes two other very unusual Sounds complex functions.BUY RICHARD MILLE RM 050 - RM 50-27-01 NTPT replica Watch
For example, there is an alarm in the 5175R-001, and the alarm responds to the set time (for example, it sounds 8 hours and a quarter hour tone at 8:15), followed by the date repeater function. This is correct, a ringing date transponder: after pressing the button at 4 o'clock, it will make a combination of treble and bass every 10 days, then it will chime a single number because it will Clock the keys. Therefore, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175 is not only worthy of its name, but also probably the most complicated ringing watch ever.
When it comes to the date, the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175's secondary dial is dedicated to the perpetual calendar. It has four small dials and a monitor - it sounds complicated, so let's take a look at each of them one by one. The larger dial at the "back cover" at 12 o'clock shows the time displayed for 24 hours - possibly used as a GMT display, beyond the main time displayed on the other dial. The center is the display of the year, located between the small dials indicated by the daily and the month. Finally, at 6 o'clock, the date and leap year are displayed.luxury replica watches for sale
