Reference 5539

Caliber R TO 27 PS

Manually wound wristwatch with minute repeater,

tourbillon, and subsidiary seconds.

The reference 5539 was inspired by a legendary

predecessor. It incorporates a minute repeater and

a tourbillon in a white-gold ofﬁcer’s-style case

with fascinating vintage looks.

The blue enamel face, a paragon of sleek elegance,

showcases applied Breguet numerals and has a

subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock.

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 tourbillon

corrects this systemic “positional” error. This is

done by integrating the balance and the escape-

ment 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).

• PULL THE CROWN OUT (1).

• TURN THE HANDS IN EITHER DIRECTION.

• PUSH THE WINDING CROWN HOME AGAIN (2).

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 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

(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 again within one or two

hours after the watch has been rewound.

Recommendations

wATEr rESISTANcE

Although your watch is equipped with a water-re-

sistant 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.

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. 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 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.

cHANGING THE cASE bAck

Your watch comes with a sapphire-crystal case

back and a separate solid precious metal back.

Only qualiﬁed master watchmakers at the Patek

Philippe workshops in Geneva are authorized to

exchange the backs.

Calibre R TO 27 PS

Montre-bracelet répétition minutes. Tourbillon.

Petite aiguille de seconde, à remontage manuel.

La référence 5539, héritière d’un modèle de

légende, allie une répétition minutes et un tour-

billon dans un boîtier « Ofﬁcier » en or gris aux

lignes pures soulignant son style vintage.

Le cadran en émail bleu, modèle d’élégance et de

sobriété, s’orne de chiffres Breguet appliques et

d’une petite seconde à 6 heures.

Le tourbillon

Au XVIIIe siècle, on découvrit que le petit res-

sort appelé «spiral» – qui forme avec le balancier

l’organe réglant de la montre – était responsable

d’une erreur de marche du mouvement. Le centre

de gravité du ressort n’étant pas situé en son

centre géométrique, l’attraction terrestre per-

turbe 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

rotation, le centre de gravité du spiral tourne

aussi en une minute autour de l’axe, ce qui per-

met de compenser automatiquement les écarts

de marche dus aux changements de position de

la montre.

La répétition minutes

La répétition minutes 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 écou-

lée sur le timbre grave. La sonnerie des quarts

est ensuite assurée par deux marteaux qui frap-

pent 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).
