Introduced Patek Philippe Ref. 5180/1G watch. This new, exclusive model reveals the mechanical and aesthetic perfection of an ultra-thin self-winding skeleton movement which has been lavishly engraved and decorated by hand. Patek Philippe Ref. 5180/1G Featuring a maximum number of parts consummately pierced by highly talented artisans, only very few of these skeleton movements will be crafted each year. When one contemplates the beauty and intricacy of fine mechanical watches, Introduced Patek Philippe Ref. 5180/1G is the kind of timepiece that comes immediately to mind. The outstanding Patek Philippe 240 caliber movement–already an exemplar in its regular form–has been open worked to an extraordinary degree, leaving just the bare minimum of structures required to support the gears, wheels, and pinions of the mechanism.
A loupe is a requirement to enjoy the Patek Philippe Ref. 5180/1G, for there are simply so many details to take in. The tiny, intricate engravings on every surface are simply breathtaking; the realization that these were realized entirely by a engraver armed with extreme patience, a hand of superhuman steadiness, and many years of developed skill deepens whatever appreciation you have of haute horlogerie to an even greater degree. The most beautiful aspects of this little mechanical jewel are the pierced mainspring barrel with the Calatrava Cross symbol, and the extremely fine support for the 22K gold microrotor, which has all the delicacy of a shimmering spiderweb.
The 18K white gold case of this Patek Philippe watch has been specially created to emphasize the remarkable transparency of the mechanism. Strikingly unique with its pierced design, and blue colored sapphire peripheral ring, it beautifully compliments and accentuates the craftsmanship of the stunning Patek 240 SQU movement.
