Review The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Regulator 18k Rose Gold Watch Replica
After the dust clouds settled at Baselworld 2019, the Patek Philippe Alarm Travel Time 5520P replica was one of the most talked-about watches of the fair. Another great introduction is the updated version of the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Regulator Men's watch replica 5235R. It may be less talked about than the Alarm Travel Time 5520P, but it's at least as divisive.
While the classic self-winding calibre 240 beats at a rate of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, the frequency of the new movement was increased by nearly 10% to 23,040vph, equivalent to 3.2Hz, and at the same time, its power reserve was increased to 48 hours and its rate accuracy to -3/+2 seconds per day.
The Dial
The Patek Philippe watch replica 5235G replica debuted in 2012 it was the first time that Patek had ever made a regulator-style wristwatch, with the hours, minutes, and seconds broken out into three separate dials. The new Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Regulator watch replica has a rose gold case and a beautiful two-tone dial that contrasts matte black sub-dials and a matte black outer track with a graphite-colored, vertically brushed central section. If the original 5235G was cool and crisp, the 5235R is warm and inviting. Priced at $51,830, it sits right in the same ballpark as its predecessor, which does appear to have been discontinued in the wake of this new release.The Case
The 18k rose gold case of this Patek Philippe Annual Calendar men's watch replica measures 40.5mm and has a thickness of 10mm. A contemporary size for sure, but slim enough for a dress watch and remarkably thin if we take into account the complexity of the watch. Alternating polished surfaces and beautifully brushed flanks speak of the watch’s pedigree and the choice of rose gold ups the warmth factor no end.The Movement
While the dial might hark back to historic regulator clocks, the movement is state-of-the-art packed with all Patek's breakthrough Silinvar (silicon) goodies, self-winding calibre 31-260 REG QA, to ensure the regulator performs its task with maximum precision. Still wound by a 22k gold off-centred micro-rotor but with a new architecture, the basic movement is only 0.07mm thicker than calibre 240 developed in 1977; it is also the first new movement designed to accommodate Silinvar components.While the classic self-winding calibre 240 beats at a rate of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, the frequency of the new movement was increased by nearly 10% to 23,040vph, equivalent to 3.2Hz, and at the same time, its power reserve was increased to 48 hours and its rate accuracy to -3/+2 seconds per day.
