Two new complications from Patek Philippe: A Weekly Calendar And A Mechanical Alarm Travel ...

Patek Phillipe added two notable new complications to its current collection at last week's Baselworld fair: a weekly calendar in its Calatrava line; and a complex mechanical alarm in its Pilot collection The new movement in the Calatrava, automatic caliber 26-330 S C J SE, is Patek's first weekly calendar, a complication that displays week number with the corresponding month The Ref5212-A debuts in the classic Calatrava line, in a slim 40 mm wide x 1079 mm case in stainless steel rather than gold or platinum, which are more often used by Patek to introduce new complications.

The 5212-A is the only steel Calatrava in Patek Philippe's current collection, which makes it more accessible 5520P contains another new complication, an alarm function driven by a hammer and gong In other mechanical alarm functions, the alarm is driven by what's known as a "Cricket" mechanism triggered by a cam.

Patek Philippe also introduced the fifth-generation model of its men's chronograph at Baselworld. . Source
