At the beginning of the year, Patek Philippe announced that the Nautilus Ref.5711 would be discontinued, and then the green-faced 5711/1A-010, which was only produced for one year, was produced as its farewell watch. The watch is undoubtedly exclusive to “VVVIP” or the rich. If you really want to own a PP steel case green-faced watch, you may still have a chance now, which is the newly released Annual Calendar Flyback Chronograph Ref. 5905/1A-001!
If you are familiar with PP, you will naturally know that the brand has always advocated complex timing functions. This time, the Annual Calendar Flyback Chronograph Ref.5905 is equipped with an olive green dial for the first time; with the blessing of this year’s hot green dial, it is very attractive. Although both are green dials, the new watch is different from the horizontal green dial of the Nautilus Ref.5711. The Ref. 5905 uses a sunburst pattern dial, which reflects green light under the light, which is extremely noble and beautiful.
The watch has an annual calendar function. From left to right on the top of the watch face are the day of the week, date, and month, forming a unique “three-window” layout. The biggest feature of the annual calendar watch is that the watch knows how to distinguish between “big months” and “small months”. The date only needs to be manually adjusted once a year on March 1st, and the watch will display the accurate date for the whole year. It is practical and convenient.
Below the surface is a large 60-minute cumulative disk, and the day and night display is added at 6 o’clock. The watch is also equipped with PP’s newly developed longitudinal disc clutch structure, which allows the central chronograph second hand to also serve as a continuously running second hand, and it will hardly cause wear and tear on the movement, making this annual calendar flyback chronograph more lively and vivid.
Another attraction is that the new watch is specially equipped with a three-link steel belt. Does it look familiar? Because the design of the steel belt is derived from the Aquanaut Ref.5167/1A, the central link is polished with a forged surface, and the two sides of the link are polished with a mirror finish. Ref.5905 with a steel strap feels more sporty and versatile, and the flexibility of matching is naturally higher.
The heart of Ref.5905 is the CH 28 520 QA 24H automatic winding movement, with a built-in column wheel and vertical clutch; through the sapphire crystal bottom cover, you can see the smooth and beautiful PP movement polishing.
The watch has a diameter of 42mm, and the use of a stainless steel case is undoubtedly another highlight. Because the production of PP steel watches is relatively small and rarer than gold watches, PP steel watches have always been sought after by everyone. Ref.5905 was launched in 2015 with a platinum case and a blue dial, and in 2019, it was launched with a rose gold case and a brown dial. This time, it uses a stainless steel case for the first time, and it debuts with an olive green dial for the first time. The price is more than 400,000. It is no surprise that it is extremely difficult to get, but I believe that this Ref.5905 is not out of reach.
