The Charm of Jewelry - Patek Philippe Grand Complications Series 5971P-001

Ref.5971 differs from all Patek Philippe styles in the platinum case in that it not only embeds a small diamond between the lugs at the 6 o'clock position, but also features a 36-step staircase in a wide bezel. Top Wesselton, a top grade diamond, weighs about 4 carats.

The Patek Philippe look alike watches black dial reflects the wide dimension of time display. The hour and minute hands are leafy white gold, and the chronograph second hand is a slim central second hand. Perpetual calendar, week and month are displayed in two windows at 12 o'clock. There are multiple auxiliary dials on the dial. The auxiliary dial at 9 o'clock shows the second hand and the morning/afternoon; the auxiliary dial at 3 o'clock shows the accumulated 30 second minutes. The time and leap year; the auxiliary dial at the 6 o'clock position shows the date and moon phase.

The dial layout is reasonable and clear at a glance. Like the case, the dial also features diamonds, and at 12 o'clock it features a long, stepped diamond that is the highlight of the entire dial, with six round diamonds set in white gold gilt to mark the time scale.

The "heart" of Ref.5971 is itself a "jewel." Ref.5971 uses a mechanical movement caliber CHF 27-70 Q. This movement was recognized by connoisseurs as the most beautiful classic column wheel chronograph movement. The basic movement of the caliber CHF 27-70 Q was exclusively manufactured by Patek Philippe by Nouvelle Lémania and further processed at the Patek Philippe Geneva workshop, giving it the perpetual calendar function - automatically calculating different days including the leap years.
