With an extraordinarily large number of parts,

549, to be precise, this timepiece ranks among

Patek Philippe’s most complicated wristwatches.

The case ﬂanks and the minute-repeater slide are

artistically hand-engraved. The slightly cambe-

red sapphire-crystal glass protects a 18K dial that

gives the perpetual calendar an exceptionally

unique face. The apertures for the day, date, and

month feature mirror-polished rose gold frames

and are arranged along an arc between 10 and 2

o’clock. The subsidiary seconds dial is positioned

at 6 o’clock and accommodates the lunar disk

in the characteristic moon-phase cutout. Each

of these little discoveries by themselves delight

watch connoisseurs, but the big surprise comes at

midnight, when all displays of the perpetual calen-

dar advance instantaneously and synchronously. This

is not merely a welcome function, it is also an

extremely challenging additional complication

based on the ﬂawless interaction of 212 individual

parts. Patek Philippe’s caliber engineers invested

ﬁve years in the development of this ingenious

mechanism to assure that the disks for the day,

the date, the month, and the leap-year cycle really

switch to the next calendar day simultaneously and

at the same time. The core of their invention is

a mechanism consisting of levers and complex

program cams for which two patent applications

were ﬁled.

Caliber R TO 27 PS QI

Wristwatch with minute repeater. Tourbillon.

Instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays. Manually wound.

Rose gold.

The minute repeater

On demand, the minute repeater strikes the

hours, the quarter-hours, and then the minutes

that have elapsed since the last quarter-hour. The

ﬁrst hammer strikes the hours on the low-pitched

gong with one strike for each hour. Subsequently,

each quarter-hour is sounded as an alternating

double strike by two hammers on both the high-

and low-pitched gongs. Finally, the second ham-

mer strikes the high-pitched gong to count the

number of minutes that have passed since the last

quarter-hour.

At 12:59, for instance, the melody consists of 12

low sounds, 3 double high/low sounds, and 14

high sounds (totaling the maximum of 32 strikes).

The tourbillon

In the course of the 18th century, watchmakers

discovered that the rate deviations of their mo-

vements were, in the ﬁnal analysis, caused by the

tiny hairsprings which together with the balance

constitute the oscillator of every timepiece. Since

its center of gravity does not coincide with the

geometric center of the spring, the regular brea-

thing of the hairspring is negatively affected by the

earth’s pull in any orientation except horizontal.

The tourbillon corrects this systemic “positio-

nal” error. This is done by integrating the balance

and the escapement in a hinged cage that rotates

about its axis once a minute. On this orbit, the

slightly eccentric center of gravity of the hairspring

revolves around the center of the cage every 60

seconds, so the positional error is automatically

offset by progression, regardless of the orientation

of the spring.

Instantaneous perpetual calendar with

aperture displays

At midnight 2 minutes, all calendar displays ex-

cept the moon phase and the day/night indicator

simultaneously and instantaneously advance to

the next day and, as the case may be, to the next

month and the next year.

The perpetual calendar automatically recognizes

months with fewer than 31 days and switches di-

rectly from September 30 to October 1 and from

February 28 to March 1.

In leap years, which are indicated by the Ro-

man numeral IV in the aperture between 4 and 5

o’clock, the date disk ﬁrst indicates February 29

before switching to March 1 a day later.

If the watch is wound every day, the perpetual

calendar will not need to be corrected until Fe-

bruary 28, 2100. The year 2100 is a secular year in

which the leap day is skipped according to the

rules of the Gregorian calendar.

The reference 5207 is a Patek Philippe perpe-

tual calendar in which the date correction

push piece acts only on the date and does not

change the month and year displays.

NOTE ON CORRECTING PERPETUAL CALENDAR DISPLAYS (PUSH PIECE A) AND MOON PHASE DISPLAY (PUSH PIECE C):

• TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR WATCH, PLEASE PERFORM ALL SETTINGS AND CORRECTIONS WITH THE CORRECTION STYLUS

THAT WAS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR WATCH. ANY OTHER TOOL COULD DAMAGE YOUR WATCH.

• MAKE SURE TO SET YOUR WATCH TO 3 AM BEFORE CORRECTING DISPLAYS OR PERFORMING OTHER SETTINGS.

• THE SETTING SEQUENCE DESCRIBED BELOW MUST BE OBSERVED.

• FOR EVERY CORRECTION PROCEDURE, THE CORRECTOR PUSH PIECES MUST BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN AND THEN TOTALLY

RELEASED AGAIN.

Settings

PREPARATIONS PRIOR TO SETTING

• Before performing any corrections or settings, always

wind the watch (10 turns of the winding crown).

• Pull the crown out (8).

• Advance the hands clockwise until the date display (6)

advances by one day.

• Set the hands to 3 am.

The color of the day/night indicator must be dark blue.

• Push the winding crown home again (7).

SETTING THE CALENDAR DISPLAYS

SETTING THE MOON PHASE

SETTING THE TIME

• Actuate correction push piece (C) until lunar disk (3)

indicates full moon

• Consult the “Full Moon Calendar” and determine how

many days have elapsed since the last full moon.

For each elapsed day (not counting the full-moon day),

actuate correction push piece (C) once to set the moon

phase display. Then, use the winding crown to set the

correct time. If you advance the hands beyond

midnight, all displays of the perpetual calendar will be

advanced as well.

• Pull the crown out (8).

•Set the hands to the correct time If you advance the hands

beyond midnight, all displays of the perpetual calendar

will be advanced as well.

• After having set the time, push the winding crown (7)

home again.

• Actuate push piece (A) as many times as needed to

display the current date (6).

• Actuate push piece (B) as many times as needed to

display the current year (2) and the current month (1).

• Actuate push piece (D) as many times as needed to

display the current day of the week (5).

Minute repeater

The strike sequence of the minute repeater

must be allowed to end completely before it

is activated again.

Caution: Never actuate the winding crown as

long as the repeater is working and for 30 sec-

onds thereafter. Doing so could cause damage

to the repeating mechanism which would not

be covered by the warranty.

To activate the striking mechanism, push the slide

(9) all the way up.

Now release it completely – do not pull it down.

Two small hammers will now strike the hours,

quarter-hours, and minutes on two gongs of low

and high pitch.

If the watch was set aside unwound for an ex-

tended period of time, the minute repeater might

not indicate the correct time because the oil may

have thickened at some points inside the mecha-

nism. This is absolutely normal and has no nega-

tive consequences. The striking mechanism will

function correctly again within one or two hours

after the watch has been rewound.

Recommendations

wATER RESISTANCE

Although your watch is equipped with a water-

resistant crown, it is not protected at all against

the ingress of moisture because of the slot for the

minute repeater slide.

Therefore, exercise care to ensure that liquid does

not come into contact with your watch.

SERvICE

We recommend that you have your watch

serviced at least once every three to ﬁve years.

For this purpose, we suggest you take it to an

Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer who will send

it to our Geneva manufacture, the only location

authorized to service watches with minute re-

peaters. You can then be assured that your watch

will be inspected and overhauled by a qualiﬁed

master watchmaker at Patek Philippe headquar-

ters in Geneva.

The master watchmaker will completely disas-

semble the movement and then inspect, clean,

and lubricate all the individual parts prior to re-

assembly. All functions of the watch will also be

tested in detail and the escapement regulated if

necessary. Finally, its rate accuracy will be moni-

tored and precision-adjusted for a further period

of at least two weeks.

The case and the buckle will be polished as per

your instructions and your watch will be returned

to you in mint condition. The entire process will

take several weeks because each watch must un-

dergo a complete series of tests to fulﬁll the strict

quality criteria of Patek Philippe.

If you have any questions regarding the main-

tenance of your watch, contact the Authorized

Patek Philippe Retailer nearest you or our Inter-

national Customer Service department in Geneva,

or visit www.patek.com.

wINDING

When fully wound, your wristwatch has a power

reserve of at least 38 hours. We recommend that

you wind your watch at about the same time every

day.

We advise you to wind the watch before you put

it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure

on the winding stem which, in the course of the

years, could damage the stem tube.

The same applies to handsetting. Please use your

ﬁngernails to pull the crown out and turn it gently

between two ﬁngertips.

DYNAMOMETRIC wINDING CROwN

Make sure you wind the watch gently and uni-

formly. If you proceed too vigorously, you could

damage the movement and break parts, especially

toward the end of the winding process. To reduce

this risk, Patek Philippe has equipped some of its

manually wound watches, including the reference

5207, with a dynamometric crown. This patented

Patek Philippe innovation prevents damage to

the winding mechanism when the mainspring is

fully tensioned. When you hear a succession of

soft clicks, this indicates that the watch is now

wound. This clicking sound is absolutely normal

and indicates when you can stop winding the

watch.

CHANGING THE CASE BACK

Your watch comes with a sapphire-crystal case back

and a interchangeable solid metal back. Only qua-

liﬁed master watchmakers at the Patek Philippe

workshops in Geneva are authorized to exchange

the backs.

PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL

The Patek Philippe Seal is a global emblem of qua-

lity that applies to the completed and fully cased

watch. It covers the movement, the case, the dial,

the hands, the pushers, the straps and bracelets,

the clasps, as well as all other components that

contribute to the accuracy and aesthetic appeal of

a watch. It takes technical, functional, and design-

related aspects into account and also covers the

visual appearance of the watch, its rate accuracy

and dependability, as well as the quality of the

customer service to which its owner is entitled. It

encompasses the entire know-how and the unique

facets that govern the development, production,

and long-term maintenance of an exceptional

timepiece.
