Baselworld 2018: Patek Philippe

When it comes to elegance and a keen eye for detail, Patek Philippe’s team of highly skilled watchmakers are world renowned experts. For 2018, Patek Philippe have certainly not disappointed us with a host of stunning releases at Baselworld.

Released ahead of Baselworld as part of Patek Philippe’s introduction to Instagram, a new Calatrava Pilots Travel Time (ref 5524R), now enters the collection in rose gold with a brown dial. Worn on a calfskin vintage brown strap, the 5524R is a development of the 5524G first released back in 2015 in white gold. This elegant 42mm timepiece with self winding movement pays tribute to Patek Philippe’s traditional aviator’s watches.

Adding the first grand complication to the Nautilus collection, Patek Philippe’s 5740/1G is another exciting launch for Baselworld 2018. A unique combination of sports appeal and technical specification, it perfectly demonstrates Patek Philippe’s expertise in watchmaking artistry. With an ultra thin self-winding movement, this white gold piece is sure to be amongst the stand out releases at Baselworld.

Expanding Patek Philippe’s Aquanaut collection, today’s launches at Baselworld 2018 include the first chronograph in the collection. The 5968A is a sporty and very contemporary timepiece with a complication that perfectly matches the character of this youthful, dynamic piece. A mechanical self winding movement with date, the piece displays time across a stunning black embossed dial, with sapphire crystal caseback.

A new colour for the sporty chic wearer, the 5067A is a development of the successful Aquanaut Luce first launched in 2004. A bezel set with 46 diamonds makes it an elegant stylish timepiece. With a blue-gray embossed dial, this steel timepiece is perfect for the lady seeking something different.
