Created exclusively for the Singapore exhibition held in late 2019, the Patek Philippe Ref. 5303R-010 Minute Repeater Tourbillon Singapore Special Edition skeletonized grand complication houses a totally reworked manual movement (based on one of the brand's existing grand complication calibers) that was three years in the making. The object of the reconfigured caliber was to be able to showcase the hammers of the minute repeater (which chimes the hours, quarter hours and minutes past the quarter hours) on the dial side. Just 12 pieces were made for the Singapore market. However, the beauty of this new caliber is that it will most likely be used in another watch by the brand in 2021, as the research and development that went into its making are too time-consuming and costly to use for just one edition.

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.
