PATEK PHILIPPE Launched the London 2015 Limited Editions

PATEK PHILIPPE have launched The London limited editions on Watch Art Grand Exhibition for their 175 Anniversary.
Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary year started in October 2014 with the introduction of the main anniversary collection of watches that included the SFr2.5 million Grandmaster Chime. In addition to that anniversary collection, Patek Philippe is also introducing smaller runs of limited edition.

The signature watches of the London 2015 collection are the officer's case limited editions, comprising five models from a basic time-only Calatrava to the Grand Complication ref. 5213G.
All five officer's case editions are variants of existing models, and share the same case style, featuring a hinged back engraved with the London 2015 logo and screwed lug bars. And the dials that bear Breguet-style numerals and hands along with a railway minute track.
The entry-level officer's case watch is the Calatrava Ref. 5153G-012 in white gold, with a silver dial featuring applied black gold Breguet numerals, that's limited to 80 pieces.

Also in white gold is the PATEK PHILIPPE ref. 5159-012 perpetual calendar with retrograde date. Again this has Breguet numerals and hands, but the numerals are printed on the silver dial. Only 80 of this will be made.

The top of the line wristwatch is the ref. 5213G-012, a Grand Complication featuring a minute repeater and perpetual calendar with retrograde date. Limited to just 10 pieces, this has a silver dial with printed numerals.

And the last two officer's case timepieces are a pair of ladies' watches in rose gold, which paradoxically are the closest in terms of design to classic men's wristwatches. The first is the ref. 7000R-011, a minute repeater with a compact 33.7mm diameter case (that's descended from the original, modern era Patek Philippe repeater wristwatch, the ref. 3939). Only three will be made.

And limited to 80 pieces is the ref. 7200R-0110, a time-only Calatrava wristwatch with a 34.6mm case containing the self-winding calibre 240.

Also part of the London 2015 collection are a pair of Calatrava wristwatches with enamel dials. The first is the ref. 5089G-041, depicting the Houses of Parliament at Westminster in cloisonné enamel, while the second is the ref. 5089G-040 (pictured below). This has a dial made with the grisaille enamel technique, which is essentially a disc of black enamel that has been painted and engraved to create a starkly monochromatic image. Both enamel Calatravas are limited to just 10 pieces each.

And the last three timepieces presented are all one of a kind. The first is the Tudor Rose ref. 9921J pocket watch in yellow gold, with an enamelled Tudor rose on the case.

The other, reference 5089G-040, uses the grisaille enamelling technique to show various London landmarks, including Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the Gherkin. For this, the artist builds up his image using the white enamel known as blanc de Limoges on a black enamel ground. He works with extremely fine brushes, or even a needle, to create subtle gradations from black to white, including all the shades of gray.

Both the enamel Calatravas use Patek Philippe’s ultra-slim Calibre 240 automatic movement.
