16 PATEK PHILIPPE
As the popular saying goes, trends come and go but style is forever. If there’s one thing that will never go out of style, it would have to be the exquisite timekeeping creations from Patek Philippe. This year, the renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker pays homage to its classic models of a bygone era with the Reference 5320G, a new perpetual calendar that combines sublime vintage aesthetics with the best of modern watchmaking technology. Never one to skimp on the details, a close inspection of its delicious cream-colored dial reveals fine-tipped baton hands filled with Super-LumiNova that gracefully sweep across applied gold Arabic numerals and luminous five-minute cabochons. Also displayed on the dial is a double aperture for the day and date, two small round apertures to indicate day/night and leap year cycle, set beside a subsidiary dial at 6 o’clock that includes an analog date and moonphase. Powered by the Calibre 324 SQ, the Reference 5320G is an elegant creation that allows the wearer to focus on what’s truly important by doing away with the unnecessary bells and whistles. Housed in a slender 40mm case in lustrous 18K white gold paired with a strap in divine brown alligator, this classic timepiece makes for a fine everyday companion for any modern day gentleman. patek.com
