Discontinued years ago after a short production run from approximately 2009 to 2014, this reference exists in a category of one: nowhere else in horology will you find this exact combination of silvery opaline dial, 18k rose gold case, vaulted three-aperture annual calendar, and flyback chronograph. It’s the kind of watch that whispers Succession boardroom rather than shouting Wolf of Wall Street, quiet luxury before quiet luxury had a name.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Showcases a champagne opaline dial that sits quietly, warm and even across the whole surface, the kind of tone that only reveals itself properly under good light. Three calendar apertures arc across the upper dial in polished rose gold, each one a small window into the movement working beneath. Features an 18k rose gold Calatrava cross deployant clasp on the hand‑stitched brown alligator strap, pure old‑money detail, the kind that whispers across a room instead of screaming.
Functions include hours, minutes, chronograph seconds, annual calendar (day, date, month), 24-hour indicator, power reserve indicator, and flyback chronograph with combined 60-minute and 12-hour monocounter at 6 o’clock. The rose gold crown winds and sets the watch, while the pushers operate the chronograph and flyback function. Three recessed correctors on the left side adjust the calendar individually. Applied markers and hands feature luminous material, giving the dial a subtle green glow for improved visibility in darker environments.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed, with Certificate of Origin, Museum Pamphlet, Collector’s Library, and The Patek Philippe Register.
Blending calendar complexity with chronograph functionality, this reference reflects Patek Philippe’s ability to make complicated watchmaking feel graceful and approachable. The deep-cut Patek for the collector who’s done chasing hype and ready to chase a serious in-house complication. If you’re ready for that next chapter, this is it.
