In 2018, the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 5270P-001 series was launched in platinum for the first time. The watch is 41 mm in diameter and 12.4 mm in thickness. With the salmon-colored dial (officially called the honey-gold luminous dial), which has been popular in recent years, the overall look is very elegant and classic. The date, week, month, small seconds, chronograph, moon phase, day and night display and leap year display are displayed on the dial at the same time. So many functions are concentrated on a small disc. How to display it so that it is clear and easy to read? The 5270 gives a good demonstration.

Day and month display at 12 o’clock; analog date and moon phase display at 6 o’clock; small seconds dial at 9 o’clock; 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. A variety of functions, but the dial is not cluttered, thanks to the classic dial layout of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in 1941, and all models of the 5270 series continue this tradition.
In addition to continuing the classic design, the dial has also been adjusted. Taking our current 5270P as an example, a tachymeter scale ring has been added to the dial. Let me say a little more here. The tachymeter on this watch is based on 1000 meters, and the chronograph pointer It shows the time it takes for the car to pass one kilometer, and the tachymeter directly shows the average speed of the car in this distance.
The hour markers have also been revised, and the hour markers now consist of Arabic numerals and black gold cubes. After seeing the layout of the dial, let's take a look at the complications that the watch has. As a watch with a perpetual calendar function, the 5270P can display the date, week and month, and can automatically adjust the date display according to the specific month. For example, it can jump directly from January 31 to February 1, or from February 28. Skip directly to March 1. If you wind this watch every day, it will not need adjustment until February 28, 2100, because 2100 happens to be a hundred years without February 29 in the Gregorian calendar.
CH 29-535 PS Q manual winding movement, this chronograph movement with perpetual calendar function is completely independently developed by Patek Philippe and has six patented technologies. Adding a perpetual calendar function to the chronograph movement requires the development of a new calendar device with an ultra-thin design, as well as a lot of manual work involved. The final thickness of the entire movement is only 7 mm. With the chronograph function not activated, the power is available for at least 55 hours and a maximum of 65 hours.
