With the Ref. 5236P-001 the tradition of fake patek philippe‘s perpetual calendars evolves with new technical solutions of the highest level. Destined to make school, as the brand’s tradition, it has the added value of a classic aesthetic in the perfect style of the brand and wins a new record. How? Radically changing the aesthetic layout of the perpetual, with a simple as well as extraordinarily complicated solution, the Ref. 5236P-001 groups, in a window at 12, the online digital indications of the day of the week, date and month. Something similar had already been proposed in the past by Patek on some pocket fake watches destined for the American market, but bringing the online display of the perpetual on a wristwatch, and consequently on a smaller movement, involved a great design work. The starting point of the new movement, the caliber 31-260 PS QL, is that of the 31-260 REG QA presented in 2011 in the Annual Calendar Regulator Ref. 5235, an automatic with small seconds at 6 o’clock. To ensure optimum readability, keeping the online displays as large as possible, a system was developed with two discs for the date, one for the tens and one for the units. The calendar indications, therefore, are provided through a total of four discs, one for the day of the week, one for the date and one for the month, perfectly aligned on the same axis. The additional module of the perpetual is the subject of three patents. The case is in platinum, the dial with a blue background has a delicate vertical satin finish that fades into a darker tone in the outermost part with the light. A new object of desire, by virtue of its absolute intrinsic value and the economic commitment necessary to purchase it (115,060 euros), which makes it absolutely one of the most expensive perpetuals offered by the market, even if its value will undoubtedly not be affected by time.
There’s certainly a lot to know about this subject. I like all of the points you have made.
