So I'm gonna be talking about a Patek today,
but not just any Patek. Stick around, I'm gonna talk about it.
Hey guys, welcome back to SwissWatchExpo. I'm Jonathan, and this is Taking Time.
And you guys know my personal thoughts on Patek, and usually, I don't talk a whole heck of a lot
of them, about them, because you know, I'm just not the overall biggest fan. But in hindsight,
essentially, this is no ordinary generic Patek. This is a very special, cool piece of engineering
from Patek which is really, really different from basically any other Patel out there. This is their
annual calendar 5905, but it's a flyback chronograph. And at that, it's in rose gold.
So it's my girlfriend's favorite color. And then essentially it's got this beautiful layout on
the dial for the day, date, month. Yeah. So annual calendars for those of you that don't know is day,
date, month. There is no year, and then there is no way to calibrate for the leap years.
That's the difference between essentially annual calendars and perpetual calendars.
And at that, this is a flyback chronograph which is in itself a huge, huge feat.
And it's wrapped in this beautiful 40-millimeter case. And I believe it's only about
13 millimeters thick, which is just, I mean, it's crazy how thin this actually is for what it is.
And another piece of really cool engineering is in the movement. This is the caliber. I've got a
little note here. This is the 28-520. Now, what makes this really unique? And if the camera can
pick that up is that essentially this acts as not just an ordinary chronograph. Yes,
it's, you know, still you can time stuff, but essentially the way that the vertical clutch
in the movement for the chronograph is designed and so well made. Essentially it's frictionless.
So that being said, normally, whenever you wind this, you're not gonna be able to know
if it's fully wound like a normal automatic watch where essentially
the seconds hand just starts going, but this that doesn't happen. You have to
actively engage the chronograph. Well, normally with chronographs essentially
there's a lot of wear and tear on the movement. If you keep them running all the time and it drains
the power reserve. This doesn't happen with that. Essentially, this can act as a running seconds
all day long, 24/7, 365, which is insane for a chronograph because of just the wear and
tear on the movement. So I think that this is absolutely amazing. And at that, they make the
annual calendar very, very legible with this watch and actively very easy to engage with.
These are called hidden pushers, by the way, they make it very easy to navigate and negotiate,
essentially setting the proper basically the date and everything like that. So
I think we just posted this just a few days ago on our website. And I think this comes
with a complete box and papers, which is also really crazy for this level of watch. But give
me a call. Like, subscribe, and do what you need to do to get this watch on your wrist. Thanks.
