Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 5278

The Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 5278/50R-011 is a 42 mm rose gold Calatrava with a minute repeater, one of a limited series of ten pieces. The case is 10.74 mm thick and pairs a sapphire crystal back with an interchangeable solid rose gold back for viewing the movement. The dial is executed in wood marquetry, depicting an electric guitar from 336 veneer parts and 18 inlays across seventeen wood species. Dauphine-style hands in rose gold mark the hours and minutes. The self-winding calibre R 27 chimes the minutes on cathedral gongs and holds a 43 hour power reserve. A caramel brown calfskin strap closes with a rose gold pin buckle. Patek Philippe protects the case against humidity and dust only, with no water resistance rating.
