Among them was an amazing new model embodying an exception to an aesthetic rule that the brand has been applying for many years : the Minute Repeater Tourbillon Singapore Special Edition 2019 has no dial, just a subdial serving as a small seconds scale at 6 o\u2019clock. Patek Philippe normally does without this particular element only on its rare skeleton watches, which Ref. 5053R-010 is not. The brand does not generally reveal the inner workings of its watches through the front, but exclusively via the caseback. However, it so happens that the R TO 27 PS caliber has a great deal worth revealing beneath the hands : hammers and gongs, snails and other components that enable it to chime the time, as well as the reverse side of its one-minute tourbillon. The brand had thus far resisted the standard practice of providing a dial cut-out to highlight a rotating regulating organ. While connoisseurs will regard this as an enchanting interlude, since this is a 12-piece limited edition, it is in fact the first series to showcase this aesthetic principle, and there are more to come !<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Patek Philippe ref. 5303R-010\u00a0<\/b><b>Minute Repeater Tourbillon Singapore 2019 Special Edition<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">CASE : <\/span>5N rose gold, openwork white gold case middle with openwork grid, transparent sapphire crystal and back, additional red gold caseback, non-water-resistant <span class=\"s1\">DIMENSIONS : <\/span>42mm in diameter, 12.13mm thick <span class=\"s1\">MOVEMENT : <\/span>hand-wound mechanical with one-minute tourbillon regulator, R TO 27 PS caliber with 48-hour power reserve <span class=\"s1\">FUNCTIONS : <\/span>hours, minutes, small seconds, minute repeater <span class=\"s1\">DIAL : <\/span>sapphire small seconds subdial at 6 o\u2019clock in sapphire, leaf-type hands in black lacquered gold <span class=\"s1\">STRAP : <\/span>glossy black alligator with 5N rose gold folding clasp<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At its grand exhibition held in Singapore this fall, Patek Philippe launched a series of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":35872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35876"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35876"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35876\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35881,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35876\/revisions\/35881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
