The Reference 5208 delivers impressive proof of

the artisanship of our master watchmakers: its

platinum case accommodates a Patek Philippe

manufacture movement that ranks among the

most complex creations in the world of horology.

It features a minute repeater, which is deemed

to be the most challenging complication in

watchmaking, a classic column-wheel-controlled

chronograph with a horizontal clutch, an

instantaneously switching perpetual calendar with

aperture displays, as well as a moon-phase display

and a day/night indicator. As an additional degree

of difﬁculty, the Triple Complication is one of

the very few highly complex wristwatches that is

self-winding.

Reference 5208

Caliber R CH 27 PS QI

Self-winding wristwatch.

Minute repeater. Monopusher chronograph.

Instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays.

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 hammer

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 chronograph

Wrist chronographs are important Patek Philippe

classics which are particularly sought after by

collectors and highly coveted at international

auctions. The Ref. 5208 is endowed with an

especially rare chronograph type in which the

three functions – start, stop, and reset – are

triggered with a single pusher; hence the name

monopusher chronograph. The minute counter is

another special feature: it runs continuously and

counts 60 minutes instead of 30 as is ordinarily

the case.

Instantaneous perpetual calendar

with aperture displays

At midnight 2 minutes, all calendar displays except

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 directly from September 30 to

October 1 and from February 28 to March 1. In leap

years, which are indicated by the Roman 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. With an annual deviation of

only 11 minutes and 47 seconds, the moon-phase

display is remarkably accurate. The error adds up

to merely one day every 122 years and 45 days. If the

watch is wound every day, the perpetual calendar

will not need to be corrected until February 28,

2100. The year 2100 is a secular year in which the

leap day is skipped according to the rules of the

Gregorian calendar.

SETTING THE CALENDAR DISPLAYS

SETTING THE MOON PHASE

SETTING THE TIME

• Actuate the correction push piece (C) as many times

as needed to display the full moon in the moon-phase

aperture (3).

• Consult the “Leap year and full moon calendar” annexed

to these instructions to ﬁnd out how many days have

elapsed since the last full moon and actuate the correc-

tion (C) push piece that many times (without the day of

the last full moon).

• Pull the crown (8) out.

•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 crown (7) home again.

• Actuate the correction push piece (A) as many times as

needed to align the date hand (6) with the current date.

• Actuate the correction push piece (B) as many times as

needed to indicate the correct year (2), and then the current

month (1). Consult the “Leap year and full moon calendar”

annexed to these instructions (2017 = I; 2018 = II; 2019 = III;

2020 = leap year IV).

• Actuate the correction push piece (D) as many times as

needed to display the current day of the week (5).

Minute repeater

Caution: Under no circumstances should you manipulate

the winding crown while the minute repeater is striking the

time and during 30 seconds 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.

The strike sequence of the minute repeater

must be allowed to end completely before it is

activated again.

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 extended period of time, the minute repeater

might not indicate the correct time because the oil

may have thickened at some points inside the

mechanism. This is absolutely normal and has no

negative consequences. The striking mechanism

will function correctly again within one to two

hours after the watch has been rewound.

Chronograph

Thanks to its mechanical chronograph function,

your Triple Complication Ref. 5208 allows you

to stop times with an accuracy of one sixth of a

second. Stopped times are indicated by the large

chronograph hand from the center as well as by the

60-minute and 12-hour counters at 3 and 9 o’clock,

respectively. Unlike most other chronographs,

the Ref. 5208 is a three-phase chronograph whose

functions are controlled by a single pusher.

When the pusher at 2 o’clock is pressed, the

following commands are generated in succession:

1. Start the chronograph hand (12) and the

60-minute/12-hour counters (11)/(14).

2. Stop the chronograph hand and the

60-minute/12-hour counters.

3. Reset (10) the chronograph hand and the

60-minute/12-hour counters (11)/(14).

Caution: To safeguard the functional integrity of your

watch, please follow these recommendations:

- Rewind manually (20 turns of the crown) before using

the chronograph if your watch has not been worn during

the past 24 hours.

- Do not activate the minute repeater while the chronograph

is running.

- After having set the time, wait for 2 minutes before

starting the chronograph.

Recommandations

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 repeaters.

You can then be assured that your watch will be

inspected and overhauled by a qualiﬁed master

watchmaker at Patek Philippe headquarters in

Geneva.

The master watchmaker will completely disassemble

the movement and then inspect, clean, and lubricate

all the individual parts prior to reassembly. All

functions of the watch will also be tested in detail

and the escapement regulated if necessary. Finally,

its rate accuracy will be monitored 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

undergo a complete series of tests to fulﬁll the

strict quality criteria of Patek Philippe.

If you have any questions regarding the maintenance

of your watch, contact the Authorized Patek

Philippe Retailer nearest you or our International

Customer Service department in Geneva, or visit

www.patek.com.

WINDING

When it is on your wrist, your watch is wound

automatically by your arm movements. When fully

wound and off the wrist, you watch has a power

reserve of at least 38 hours. If your watch stopped

because you set it aside for an extended period of

time, you can wind it manually with about 20 turns

of the crown.

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.

CHANGING THE CASE BACK

Your watch comes with a sapphire-crystal case

back and a interchangeable solid metal back. Only

qualiﬁed 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

quality 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.
