What's the difference between Patek Philippe's another premium model
Patek Philippe is one of the top ten famous replica luxury watches in the world, although the high price does not hinder its popularity. After all, the slogan "No one can really own Patek Philippe, it's just for the next generation to keep it" has made a lot of people's memory deep. . As the oldest independent family watchmaking company in Geneva, Patek Philippe still uses hand-finishing, so the annual output is not high, or even very low, so for Patek Philippe, watch premium is a common thing. This year, Patek Philippe has launched a lot of new watches, some of which have already exceeded the public price. How are they different? Let’s follow the video to find out.
Patek Philippe launched the new 5226 and 5326 this year. 5226 is the automatic third needle, and 5326 is the calendar time. In particular, the automatic big three needle 5226 is very different from the Calatrava (Chinese name is Calatrava) series sold by Patek Philippe. So why is that so? It is because the new 5226 and 5326 use a new generation of Patek Philippe design, which has drawn a line from the previous Patek Philippe.
The new generation of Patek Philippe, where is the new?
Players who are familiar with Patek Philippe know that Patek Philippe's dress watch Calatrava has always taken a classical and beautiful route. Represented by 5196, 5296, and 5227, they are all gold cases with very thin thickness, large-area polishing of the case, narrow bezel, three-dimensional hour markers, no luminous, and generally alligator leather straps, which are the most standard. dress table style.replica Patek Philippe Nautilus watch
It can be seen that Patek Philippe's new 5226 and 5326 are also gold watches and are also very thin, but their bezels are wider and flatter, the lugs are also larger, there are large luminous hands and hour markers, and it can also Comes with a canvas strap. The whole watch shows a strong sense of movement, which is different from the classical and beautiful design of Calatrava before.
We can see that Patek Philippe is shifting towards a more modern and sporty style. And former Patek Philippe boss Thierry Stern said he wanted to design a new Calatrava. While inheriting the traditional characteristics of Patek Philippe and maintaining beauty, the new Calatrava can be modern and sporty. This year's new 5226 and 5326 are the representatives of a new generation of Patek Philippe. In the past, Patek Philippe's Calatrava dress watch looked like a "gold piece" at first glance, but now the new 5226 and 5326 have more design elements on the watch (there is a view that it has the style of a flying watch). Standard formal attire, transforming into luxurious leisure.
The new generation of Patek Philippe high quality replica watches is more sporty, but the details are still perfect.
The core of Patek Philippe Calatrava is classic and beautiful. Although the new 5226 and 5326 are modern and sporty, it does not mean that they have lost their beauty. In order to highlight the classical beauty, Patek Philippe is covered with a circle of Paris studs on the side of the case of the new 5226 and 5326. The most important detail here is that the lugs of Patek Philippe 5226 and 5326 are "suspended" in order to make the Paris studs on the side coherent and not be interrupted. The lugs are welded with the case bottom cover. The middle of the lugs and the case is a "hollow" design, and the Paris studs pass from below, which can completely circle the case. It is very unique, very Patek Philippe. (Compared with this one, the other one is obviously more complicated and better.)
The dials of 5226 and 5326 have grain decoration. Patek Philippe boss Thierry Stern said that when designing the 5226 and 5326, he did not want the dial to be just black, but wanted to show more details. The boss said that he was at a friend's house and saw the body of an antique camera with this old texture. He got inspiration from this, and made this grainy feeling on the dial of the new 5226 and 5326, adding details of the watch.
Although it is a new generation, it is closely related to the past.
Patek Philippe has many details in the design of each new watch, which will be related to the old and antique models in the past. It can be said that a new Patek Philippe is composed of many "antique watch" parts, which is the intention of Patek Philippe.Jacob and Co. Astronomia Solar
As I said earlier, this is just 6119, and it also has Paris studs on it. But people's 5226, 5326 their Paris studs are more complicated and more advanced. This time, Paris studs are used in a large area, and their design inspiration also has a source. He came from 3919 in 1985.
The case of the new 5226 and 5326 is the same as Patek Philippe's "One Line Sky" perpetual calendar 5236. 5226, 5326 thickened the lugs, the effect of this is to make the watch show more sense of movement. The source of this case shape is the 1962 Patek Philippe Antique 34.48 Perpetual Calendar.
Obviously, the luminous syringe hands and luminous digital hour markers of the new 5226 and 5326 are consistent with the Patek Philippe manual chronograph 5172 and the perpetual calendar 5320. It has a strong retro and sporty feel. The source of the syringe pointer and the luminous digital time scale is the Patek Philippe antique watch 15.91 perpetual calendar from 1944.
A new generation of Patek Philippe has been fully refitted with a new generation of movement.
From about 2019, Patek Philippe began to gradually replace a new generation of movements, including the old 324 automatic movements, 215 manual movements, and 240 pearl tuo movements.Richard Mille RM 011 Titanium Brown
Patek Philippe's new 5226 has been replaced with a new generation of 330 automatic movement (specific model is 26-330). Does anyone know which movement the 330 automatic movement is the replacement model for? It is a replacement model for the 324 caliber. Compared with the 324 movement, it has made the following major upgrades, which is to replace the newly designed elastic teeth three wheels in the drive train. While maintaining the Patek Philippe mark polishing standard and the -3/+2 second error standard, it completely solved the problem that the old 324 movement could not stop seconds.
Patek Philippe's new 5326 has been replaced with a new generation of 260 pearl Tuo movement (specific model is 31-260). The 260 Pearl Tuo movement is an alternative to the 240 movement. Compared with the previous generation 240 movement, the size of the 260 Pearl Tuo movement has increased significantly, and the movement board has been redesigned. The problem that the small second hand of the old 240 movement can only be located at 4 o’clock on the dial has been completely solved on the new generation 260 movement.
Finally, I want to say that. Many famous watch brands will directly copy the antique fake watches for sale, but Patek Philippe will not do this. Each new Patek Philippe watch is a brand new design that has never been seen before, but the connection with the previous models is always revealed in the details. Today's famous watches are coming out faster and faster, with more and more patterns, and they are basically industrialized products. Only Patek Philippe can carry more things, which can be seen from the new 5226 and 5326. Alright, that's all for this episode of our show, bye.
