New Sapphire and Ruby Editions of the Patek Philippe 5271P Iconic movement, now inlaid with a large number of colored stones.

If there is one watch that perfectly defines Patek Philippe, it must be the perpetual calendar chronograph – the brand originally launched the combination of the reference 1518 and is now represented by the 5270. The watch debuted in a fairly unisex, slightly conservative version, but has recently been updated with bolder styles, such as a green-lacquered version for 2022. In addition, Patek Philippe also launched a platinum gem-set version, called 5271P. Previously available with diamonds and black dials, the ultra-luxury reference returns this year in two new colored versions, the new Patek Philippe Chronograph Perpetual Calendar 5271P set with rubies or blue sapphires, and a matching lacquered dial.

There isn't much word on about proportions and movement. The 5271P is nothing more than a stone-packed version of the already desirable high-end 5270. However, there are a few things to say about these new versions of the 5271P, as they follow the evolution of the green 5270P introduced earlier this year and represent the model's fourth generation - previous versions are covered in this guide In-depth article.
