UK Luxury Replica Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time 5326 Watches
The latest perfect replica Patek Philippe creation to include the annual calendar mechanism is the Annual Calendar Travel Time Ref. 5326, which, as the name implies, also has a dual time zone display, making the watch twice as useful and very practical, for the movement is built so that the calendar indicators are synchronised with the local time hand. From admiration over the vintage and even military-inspired aesthetic of the exceptionally detailed, grainy textured anthracite dial and the watch’s exquisitely decorated 41mm x 11.7mm Calatrava-type case featuring a Clous de Paris hobnail guilloched pattern on the sides let’s delve into the works of the underlying calibre 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H (equipped with the Gyromax balance and Spiromax balance spring in Silinvar, with the off-centre platinum micro-rotor for winding and 38 to 48 hours of autonomy) and functions of this original timepiece.
Reading the UK best fake watches’ indications is easy; the dial boasts a logical layout with the annual calendar data displayed in the apertures, the solid lume-filled hour hand indicating the local time and the skeletonised syringe-like hand indicating home time. The home time hour hand can be hidden under the local time hour hand when it is not needed. Both local and home time zones have designated and labelled day and night indicators; the moon phase, inside a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, completes the display.
The local time hand can be set backwards and forwards in one-hour increments using the crown in the middle position. The Swiss replica watches calendar indications move in sync with the local time hand (it is the local time hour wheel that drives the calendar), so the calendar is always displaying the local day, date, and month, all thanks to the added rocker and tension spring to the mechanism that pushes the date wheel in the direction needed. The home time is set with the crown in the outermost position, which also activates the stop-seconds mechanism for precise time-setting.
Remember how long the first high quality replica Patek Philippe Annual Calendar reference took to change the date? It took around four hours, and while the speed of advancing the display around midnight improved along the way, it still took an hour and a half. The new movement, as explained by the brand, “thanks to a cam system with partial toothing connected to the hour wheel, the 24-hour wheel executes its rotation in four phases instead of continuously: 180° rotation in 3 hours (toward midnight), 9 hours of standstill, 180° rotation in 3 hours (toward noon), 9 hours of standstill”. This improves the coordination of the calendar switching phase with local time and now makes the switch take about 18 minutes.
Engineering solutions “to optimise the efficiency, precision, durability, safety, and operating convenience of the calibre 31-260 PS QA LU FUS 24H movement” resulted in eight patent applications, among them the forward/backward mechanism for the Annual Calendar (EP 3776095A1) that allows the transition from the 30th to the 1st and from the 1st to the 30th without desynchronising the date so that the owner can easily switch the top copy watches time zone forward or backwards with the winding stem.
The user-friendliness and practicality of the Annual Calendar Travel Time Ref. 5326 deserve commendation. While the Minute Repeater Annual Calendar UK cheap super clone Patek Philippe Grand Complication Ref. 5033 bridges the brand’s past and present, much like the Annual Calendar Regulator Display Ref. 5235, the 5326, looks towards the future. This forward-thinking approach is evident in the innovative materials and solutions employed in the calibre 31-260 and in appealing to a new generation of buyers. It’s thrilling to anticipate how the annual calendar complication will evolve and what exciting new models will emerge next.
