NEWS News

Patek Philippe has expanded its extensive collection of calendar watches with the introduction of the "Inline Perpetual Calendar 5236P-001," a model that displays the day, date, and month side by side in a large window at 12 o'clock. Such a panoramic window was not entirely unprecedented in the Patek Philippe collection; the manufacture had previously produced pocket watches with inline calendars for the American market.

Fully hand-polished platinum case

 This new, highly refined caliber is housed in an elegant platinum case measuring 41.3 mm in diameter and just 11.07 mm thick. The case is fully hand-polished, with slightly angled lugs extending the line of the beveled bezel. A small diamond is set on the side of the case at 6 o'clock, identifying the platinum case. The blue dial, with a black gradient that deepens towards the periphery, is enhanced by a delicate vertical satin finish. The inline displays are clearly legible in blue against a white background. The time is displayed by slim white gold applied indexes and baton-type hour and minute hands. The design of the chemin-de-fer (rail) minute scale is also echoed on the small seconds scale at 6 o'clock, and the navy blue alligator strap with a platinum folding buckle perfectly matches the dial color.


Caliber 31-260 PSQL

Caliber 31-260 PSQL

To combine this unique functionality with maximum legibility and reliability, Patek Philippe's engineers developed a new automatic movement, the Caliber 31-260 PSQL. This movement features an additional module for which three patents are pending. It features only an in-line display with four coplanar rotating discs (two for the date), requiring 118 additional parts compared to a traditional perpetual calendar. It also features two small circular apertures for the leap-year cycle and day/night indicator, as well as a moon phase display. Winding power is enhanced by a micro-rotor made of platinum, which has a higher density than the 22-karat gold typically used in Patek Philippe micro-rotors.
