Patek Philippe brought more than twenty new references to WWG26 across its main collections. Instead of running through the full list, we pulled out five models that give a clear sense of what the manufacture introduced this year — one from each of the major lines and representative of the updates shown at the fair.

Nautilus 50th Anniversary 5610/1P

Patek Philippe marks the Nautilus’ 50th anniversary with a special edition that leans into purity and thinness: an ultra‑thin platinum case just 6.9 mm thick and 38 mm across, punctuated by a single brilliant‑cut diamond at 9 o’clock. The sunburst blue dial keeps the classic horizontally embossed pattern, paired with white‑gold rounded‑baton hands filled with luminous material for a clean, familiar read. The platinum bracelet carries a patented fold‑over clasp with a lockable length‑adjustment system, keeping the whole piece both elegant and practical. Inside is the legendary ultra‑thin self‑winding caliber 240, its 22K gold mini‑rotor engraved “50 1976–2026” and visible through the sapphire caseback—a quiet, confident tribute to half a century of Nautilus history.

Celestial 6105G Sunrise/Sunset

Patek Philippe gives its Celestial line a boldly futuristic turn with a 47 mm case shaped like a space module and a dial that recreates the Geneva sky using three stacked disks—two in mineral glass and one in metallized sapphire. Around the rim, a rotating date disk works in tandem with a red varnished hammer‑style hand, while two slim white‑varnished hands track sunrise and sunset across their dedicated scales. Time is kept by a pair of skeletonized white‑gold baton hands, floating above the layered display. The black composite strap, cut into an “X” pattern and attached through an invisible lug‑free system, reinforces the watch’s engineered aesthetic and closes with a patented white‑gold fold‑over clasp. Inside is the Caliber 240 C LU CL LCSO, a movement that took more than five years to develop and generated six patents along the way.

“The Crow and the Fox” Automaton 5249R

Patek Philippe introduces its first modern automaton wristwatch with a piece that feels more like a miniature stage than a traditional time display. Housed in a 43 mm rose‑gold Officer’s‑style case, the watch animates Jean de La Fontaine’s The Crow and the Fox, with the scene unfolding across a “Matara” brown 18K gold dial. Time is revealed only when activated: the minutes hand ends in a cheese‑shaped yellow‑gilt titanium tip, while the fox’s muzzle and paw indicate the hours and minutes in motion. The shiny chocolate‑brown alligator strap and rose‑gold triple‑blade clasp keep the aesthetic warm and classical, but the heart of the watch is the new Caliber 31‑260 PS HMD AU, a movement built specifically to drive this fable‑in‑motion.

Cubitus Perpetual Calendar Skeleton 5840P

Patek Philippe pushes the Cubitus line forward with a striking new Grand Complication: a 45 mm platinum perpetual calendar built around an openworked blue dial made of laser‑cut strips, paired with luminescent white‑gold markers and baton hands for sharp nighttime clarity. It debuts the collection’s first large‑moon display, rendered with unusual realism, and leans into a modern aesthetic with a navy composite strap featuring a fabric‑pattern texture and cream stitching. Driving everything is the new square‑shaped, fully skeletonized 28‑28 Q SQU caliber, a movement designed to match the watch’s architectural presence.

Calatrava Minute Repeater 7047G

The 7047G is the quietest of the five, but maybe the most refined. A 38mm white‑gold case, the automatic R 27 PS movement, a two‑tone chime, and small seconds at six. This exceptional timepiece combines the minute repeater – the undisputed emblem of Patek Philippe’s expertise in the realm of Grand Complications. The baton-type hands and applied Arabic numerals are in white gold and coated with white luminescent material. This dynamic style is reinforced by the contrasting touch of color provided by the orange varnished small seconds hand and the orange transferred triangle hour-markers. The navy blue fabric-patterned composite strap with contrasting orange stitching and lining is secured by a white gold prong buckle. This watch is equipped with self-winding R 27 PS caliber, which is particularly thin at just 5.05mm.
