Patek Philippe Complicated Chronograph Perpetual Calendar 5971P made of platinum and diamonds is a true watchmaking treasure. This watch is not only a work of art, it is a technical masterpiece. It is almost a shame to wear such a watch because it seems like it should belong in a museum.
There is an incredibly complicated mechanism that drives the time piece. You wind the watch and it stays active for days while accurately telling you a wealth of information such as the phases of the moon and when to expect a leap year. The mechanism accurately tells time while, at the same time, it projects information months and years out ahead. It is a true engineering marvel.
Patek Philippe 5971P watch made with platinum and inlaid with diamonds making it a literal treasure. The platinum sparkles against the gloss black of the watch face and leather strap. There are classic elements to the design such as the textured winder on the right side of the watch and the symmetrical, polished bevels that hold the leather strap.
The diamonds catch the light really well inside the anti-reflective watch face. There are a series of diamonds that mark the hours around the watch face. Written inside the diamond markers are another series of standard measurements that can accurately measure minutes and seconds. There are a series of altimeter inspired indicators that can tell you the phase of the moon, the month, date and day. There is an easy to read indicator for the month and date just underneath the noon indicator.
The knurled crown is alive with platinum flash. The texture of the crown lets light play off the watch face and is sure to catch eyes as it moves in the light. It serves in stark contrast to the polished bezels and gloss black inside the face and on the straps.
The classic leather straps are textured with an alligator print and are hand sewn. No two pieces are alike in this manner. The edges of the straps are triple stitched giving the watch a hardy build quality. The time piece is water proof in up to 30 meters of water. This is the ultimate in watchmaking as it stands as a functional and practical piece of art. The build quality is second to none and the materials make this time piece precious. It will make you the envy of all
luxury watch collectors.
