Despite being regarded as the world’s most prestigious watch brand, it is often remarked that Patek Philippe is relatively conservative with its design. Launched at the Basel fair in 2010, Patek Philippe challenged our sensual experience with its reference 5951, the new mono pusher split-seconds chronograph wristwatch with perpetual calendar, proving that the watchmaker not only has the skills to keep the traditions alive, but also the courage and vision to push forward with innovation.

The movement’s design is based on calibre CHR 27-525PS, the thinnest column-wheel-controlled split-seconds chronograph movement, which can be seen in reference 5959 and the new reference 5950A. The CHR 27-525 PS Q boasts the addition of a perpetual calendar module that adds a mere 2.05 mm in height, creating an overall height of just 7.3 mm, making it the thinnest split seconds chronograph with perpetual calendar ever crafted by Patek Philippe. Due to its extreme complexity, the new calibre CHR 27-525 PS Q is exclusively hand-crafted one at a time.

The design of the dial is both sporty and contemporary and seamlessly combines tradition with modernity. Daring and unconventional in appearance, the dial has no fewer than 12 indications yet its displays remain highly legible. Standard time is indicated with leaf-shaped white-gold hands and applied baton-style hour markers. For contrast, short-time measurements are tracked with red hands. The cushion-form case is reminiscent of some of Patek Philippe’s earliest split-seconds chronographs with an Art Deco design that dates back to the 1920s.
