Patek Philippe Quadruple Complication 5308G Replica Watches

Here’s news about the new Watches & Wonders 2025 collection from replica Patek Philippe, the leading Swiss high-end watch manufacturer. Patek Philippe has added new products to its major collections, from Grande Complication to Complication, Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava, Twenty~Four for women, and Cubitus, which was successfully launched last year. By introducing a table clock with a 31-day power reserve and perpetual calendar and weekly calendar functions, it has shown off its presence as a historic maison leading haute horlogerie (high watchmaking).

The 15-piece limited edition, which was first unveiled in a platinum case at Patek Philippe’s Watch Art Grand Exhibition Tokyo 2023 in Tokyo, Japan in 2023, is being introduced as a regular model for the first time this year. Just by looking at the reference number, it is not difficult to see that the 5308 is derived from the grand complication 5208 that debuted in 2011. Usually, Patek Philippe organizes references in this way and discontinues existing reference models, which is the traditional series operation method of Patek Philippe. The predecessor 5208, which encompassed a minute repeater, chronograph, and perpetual calendar, was one of the most complicated series even in the Grand Complications collection, excluding the Grandmaster Chime series (Ref. 6300). The only titanium version (Ref. 5208T-010) was sold for a whopping 6.2 million Swiss francs (approximately 10.8 billion won) at the Only Watch auction in 2017. Carrying on the 5208 series that achieved great success in a relatively short period of time, the new 5308 series has also added a split-seconds function, showing off its grandeur with four main complications, as its name suggests.
The new quadruple complication 5308 is presented in white gold. The case is 42 mm in diameter and 17.71 mm thick, which is inevitable considering the various functions and self-winding design. However, the skeletonized hollow-style welded lugs make the heavy appearance look lighter. And the cool ice blue colored dial with sunburst finish goes perfectly with the white gold case. The dial plate itself is made of the same 18K white gold as the case, and the applied indexes and hands, also made of white gold, are dark blue in color to create a sharp tone-on-tone contrast with the dial.
While the day, date and month are displayed side by side in three different apertures (windows), leap year and day/night indications are integrated into counters at 3 o’clock (60 minutes) and 9 o’clock (12 hours), and not forgetting the classic moon phase display together with the small seconds at 6 o’clock. These calendar functions work together with sophisticated components to create a so-called instantaneous perpetual calendar. This name is proudly emphasized because each disc changes in just around 30 milliseconds (0.03 seconds) around midnight. This is a functional feature unique to the Patek Philippe perpetual calendar, dating back to the previous reference 5208 series.

Based on the in-house automatic Caliber R CH 27 PS QI of the 5208 series, the number of parts increased to 799 by adding a split-second function that can measure different lap times simultaneously. A special part (anti-backlash wheel) was added to reduce the friction applied to the clutch when the chronograph function is operated while increasing the torque of the barrel, and a new patented technology was applied to block factors that can affect isochronism due to momentary energy loss when the split-second mechanism is operated (or conversely, when the function is stopped). Of course, a separate pusher was added for the split-second function. Therefore, it is easily distinguished from the 5208 series with the naked eye. The movement, which measures 32 mm in diameter and 12.28 mm in thickness, is equipped with two sets of classic gongs and hammers to implement the chiming mechanism. The minute repeater function can be activated by operating the sliding lever on the left side of the case. As those who handle and control the most iconic complications of Haute Horlogerie with greater precision than anyone else, there isn’t much to add about the new R CHR 27 PS QI caliber.
The quadruple complication Ref. 5308G-001 is a regular model, not a limited edition, but as a grand complication model, the annual production volume is expected to be extremely small, and the domestic release price is expected to be around 2 billion won.
The first rose gold version of the Ref. 5370 series, which debuted in 2015, has been released. In addition, the brown Grand Feu enamel dial is incorporated, and the unique, cool vintage look is expected to capture the hearts of collectors. As it is one of Patek Philippe’s representative models that is very popular and is in high demand among collectors, it is also the result of being very careful in composing new products while being conscious of recent trends.

The rose gold case is 41 mm in diameter, 13.56 mm thick, and water-resistant to 30 m. The movement is, as always, the in-house manual split-seconds chronograph caliber CHR 29-535 PS (frequency 4 Hz, power reserve 65 hours). Through the sapphire crystal case back, you can admire the beautiful and classic design of the movement that lives up to the Patek Philippe Seal.
