The Patek Philippe Calatrava Weekly Calendar watch has a new complication in the brand's calendar segment; for the first time, it offers not just the time, date and day of the week, but it displays the current week number in the year. Although week numbers are not commonly used in North America, other countries frequently reference the week number, making it quite useful. The watch houses an all-new self-winding movement, Caliber 26-330 SCJ SE, with a semi-integrated mechanism that displays the week number. The 304-part movement shows the day and week number using hands, and the date in an aperture at 3 o'clock. The movement is equipped with a 21K gold central rotor, high-tech balance and spring, and offers 35 hours of power reserve. The silvery opaline dial is distinctive thanks to the letters and numbers that were first handwritten, then reproduced.

Operating for the past 180 years, Patek Phillippe benefits from a uniquely preserved legacy. As the last independent, family-owned Genevan manufacturer, Patek Philippe timepieces are both traditional and innovative.Pending eight different patents, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time debuted in 2022. Combining two beloved collections, this watch flaunts a 409-part caliber housed in the Calatrava case and encircled by a vintage style dial. Other new models released in 2022 include the Grand Complications collection of minute repeaters with classic gongs, a second time zone with day/night indication and an alarm. Some pieces come accompanied by a set of white gold cufflinks with baguette-cut diamonds to match. The new Nautilus and Chronograph collections demonstrate similar expertise featuring a split-seconds monopusher and high-performance movement, while the Watches & Wonders Geneva line continues to boast the brands broad technical and aesthetic capabilities.
