Reference 5303

Caliber R TO 27 PS

Manually wound wristwatch with minute repeater,

tourbillon and small seconds.

Rose gold.

Launched in a limited edition of 12 watches as a world

debut at the “Watch Art Grand Exhibition Singapore

2019”, the Ref. 5303 Minute Repeater Tourbillon has

now become part of the current Patek Philippe col-

lection with a slightly reworked design. It stands out

with its open, dialless architecture that exposes the

minute repeater including the action of the ham-

mers and gongs even while the watch is on the wrist.

The desire for transparency is also reﬂected in the

tourbillon; the underside of its cage can be admired

through a plate aperture at 6 o’clock. The aesthetic

appeal of the manually wound caliber R TO 27 PS

was subtly reworked with the skeletonization of in-

dividual components to enhance their beauty. Of

course, Patek Philippe also leveraged its entire legacy

in the manual ﬁnissage of movement parts, including

Geneva striping for the plate, perlage for the recesses,

and circular satin ﬁnishing of the strikework ham-

mers. The rose-gold case features a cambered and

polished bezel as well as intarsias in white gold; they

display arabesques and latticework on the ﬂanks of

the caseband and on the strap lugs. The slide for actu-

ating the minute repeater in the left-hand case ﬂank

is made of white gold as well.

The tourbillon

In the course of the 18th century, watchmakers

discovered that the rate deviations of their move-

ments were, in the ﬁnal analysis, caused by the tiny

hairsprings which together with the balance con-

stitute the oscillator of every timepiece. Since its

center of gravity does not coincide with the

geometric center of the spring, its regular breath-

ing is negatively affected by the earth’s pull in

any orientation except horizontal. The tourbil-

lon corrects this systemic “positional” error. This

is done by integrating the balance and the es-

capement 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.

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 alternat-

ing 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).

Functions and settings

HANDSETTING

• Before you perform any corrections or settings, wind the watch by hand

(10 turns of the winding crown, clockwise).

• Pull the crown out (1).

• Turn the hands in either direction.

• Push the winding crown home again (2).

Instructions

To activate the striking mechanism, push the slide

(3) 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 extended

period of time, the minute repeater might not in-

dicate the correct time on the ﬁrst try. This may

happen if the oil is not evenly distributed but has

no negative consequences. The striking mechanism

will function correctly if you activate it two or

three times in a row.

Caution:

- The strike sequence of the minute repeater

must be allowed to end completely before it

is activated again.

- Never actuate the winding crown as long as

the repeater is working and for 30 seconds

thereafter. Doing so could cause damage to the

repeating mechanism which would not be cov-

ered by the warranty.

Recommendations

wATEr rESISTANcE

Although your watch is equipped with a water-

resistant crown, it is not protected at all against the

ingressofmoisturebecauseoftheslotfortheminute

repeater slide. Therefore, exercise care to ensure

that liquid does not come into contact with your

watch.

wINDING

When fully wound, your wristwatch has a power

reserve of at least 40 hours. We recommend that

you wind your watch at about the same time ev-

ery day. We advise you to wind the watch before

you put it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pres-

sure 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.

Care and maintenance

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.

A qualiﬁed watchmaker will completely disassem-

ble the movement and then inspect, clean, and lu-

bricate 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 buckle will be polished as per your

instructions and your watch will be returned to

you in mint condition. The entire process may

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 depart-

ment in Geneva, or visit www.patek.com.

Référence 5303

Calibre R TO 27 PS

Montre-bracelet à remontage manuel.

Répétition minutes, tourbillon et petite seconde.

Or rose.

Lancée en première mondiale lors de l’exposition

« Watch Art Grand Exhibition Singapore 2019 », dans

une série limitée à 12 exemplaires, la Répétition

Minutes Tourbillon référence 5303 fait son entrée

dans la collection courante Patek Philippe avec un

design légèrement revisité. Elle se distingue par son

architecture ouverte, sans cadran, laissant admirer

le mécanisme de répétition minutes à l’œuvre,

y compris les marteaux et les timbres, même

lorsqu’on porte la montre au poignet. Le souci de

transparence se poursuit au niveau du tourbillon,

dont on aperçoit l’arrière de la cage à travers le

compteur de la petite seconde à 6h. L’esthétique

du calibre R 27 TO PS à remontage manuel a été

subtilement retravaillée pour s’exposer dans

toute sa beauté, en ajourant notamment certaines

pièces. Patek Philippe a également mis à l’honneur

sa maîtrise ancestrale des ﬁnitions manuelles des

composants du mouvement, avec une platine ornée

de Côtes de Genève circulaires, des creusures au

décor perlé et des marteaux rehaussés par un ﬁn

satinage circulaire. Le boîtier en or rose se démarque

par sa large lunette bombée et polie ainsi que par

ses inserts en or gris avec décor « feuilles » gravé sur

les ﬂancs de la carrure et des attaches du bracelet. Le

verrou en or gris permettant d’activer la répétition

minutes, sur le côté gauche du boîtier, arbore le

même motif.

Le tourbillon

Au XVIIIe siècle, on découvrit que le petit ressort

appelé «spiral» - qui forme avec le balancier l’or-

gane réglant de la montre – était responsable d’une

erreur de marche du mouvement. Le centre de grav-

ité de ce ressort n’étant pas situé en son centre

géométrique, l’attraction terrestre perturbe en effet

la régularité de ses oscillations chaque fois que la

montre n’est pas en position horizontale.

Le tourbillon permet de corriger ce phénomène.

Pour ce faire, l’organe réglant et l’échappement

sont logés dans une cage mobile qui tourne sur

elle-même en 60 secondes. Au cours de cette rota-

tion, le centre de gravité du spiral tourne aussi en

une minute autour de l’axe, ce qui permet de com-

penser automatiquement les écarts de marche dus

aux changements de position de la montre.

La répétition minutes

La répétition sonne sur demande les heures, les

quarts, ainsi que les minutes écoulées depuis le

dernier quart. Le premier marteau sonne les heures

en frappant un coup par heure écoulée sur le timbre

grave. La sonnerie des quarts est ensuite assurée par

deux marteaux qui frappent alternativement sur le

timbre aigu puis sur le timbre grave.

Le deuxième marteau vient ensuite frapper, sur le

timbre aigu, le nombre de minutes écoulées depuis

le dernier quart.

12 coups graves, 3 doubles coups, 14 coups aigus: ainsi

se fait entendre le son mélodieux de 12 heures 59

minutes (totalisant le maximum de 32 coups).
