A Trio of Grand Complications

-
Minute Repeater: The minute repeater allows the wearer to tell the time by sound. When activated, the watch chimes the hours, minutes, and seconds with a series of delicate gongs. The 5316P's minute repeater is one of the finest in the world, known for its clarity and purity of tone. At Patek Philippe, Minute Repeaters go through a thorough process of inspections and quality control to ensure only perfect results leave the shop for their best customers.

Perpetual Calendar: The perpetual calendar is a mechanical marvel that automatically keeps track of the date, even during leap years. The 5316P's perpetual calendar is accurate for over 400 years, making it a truly timeless piece.
-
Tourbillon: The tourbillon is a device that counteracts the effects of gravity on the watch's movement, ensuring greater accuracy. The 5316P's tourbillon is visible through the back of the case, allowing the wearer to admire its intricate mechanics.
The Patek Philippe 5316P is more than just a watch; it is a work of art. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of the world's finest watchmakers.
