Weekly function
According to the ISO 8601 international standard, Patek Philippe will be the first day of the week, and the week of January 4th is the first week of the year. For this innovative function of the weekly calendar, Patek Philippe has developed a new semi-integrated device that displays the day of the week and the current number of weeks and has also developed a special motherboard for this device to keep the movement slim. The weekly calendar device adopts a non-continuous semi-instantaneous jump mode to effectively avoid the peak energy consumption. And the brand is very intimate to prevent the fault design concept so that we can adjust at any time, staying up all night, no need to worry about damaging the movement.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Watch draws inspiration from the masterpiece of the brand’s history, Ref. 2512. The 40 mm diameter watch features a stainless steel case that is rare in the brand. The case is gold stamped with a high-tonnage press and then hand-polished to eliminate the sharp edges and bevels of the case. There are two buttons at the 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock sides of the case that can be used to adjust the week and week.
The slightly curved double-layered lugs on the side are delicate and elegant.
The slightly curved box-shaped sapphire crystal has a retro feel.
The crown on one side is also polished and polished, engraved with the classic logo of Patek Philippe, and the crown is pulled out halfway to adjust the date.
The white-white dial features a rare five-centered center-pointer. The hour and minute hands are black-plated sword-shaped hands, and the four faceted black-plated Barton-style three-dimensional time markers complement each other. The other seconds are slim and slender with a counterweight. A hammer-shaped day hand with a “red hammer” on the top indicates the day of the week around a circular graduated ring in the middle of the disk, and another identically designed hand indicates the number of weeks and months. A window-type date display is available at the 3 o’clock position.
The light brown calfskin strap is also quite retro, and it looks great with the overall style of the replica watches.
The watch’s caliber is based on the Caliber 324. The new Caliber26-330 caliber uses an innovative drive system based on a third gear based on the anti-backlash to suppress second-hand tremor and eliminate friction. At the same time, the automatic winding device has been completely modified and optimized, and the shape of the winding oscillating weight changes and two curved notches appear on both sides of the rotating shaft. This centrifugal swing-type automatic winding device uses a new patented clutch wheel manufactured by a sophisticated process and is equipped with a reduction wheel to improve the performance and reliability of the movement. Turning over to the back of the watch, you can see that its exquisite movement structure and original decoration are beautiful.
