Patek Philippe

Carrying forth Patek Philippe’s renowned reputation of clean and complicated timepieces is the reference 5950. First debuted at Basel in 2010, the 5950 exudes a certain air of timelessness largely reminiscent of late 1920s chronographs giving it a familiar, vintage ambiance. Characterized by its fine cushion shape, dynamically ornate dial, raised Breguet numerals, and rare stainless-steel case, the 5950 quickly rose to the top as one of the most highly desired timepieces in the watch community. Coupled with its desirability, the 5950 stands among the most exclusive watches of today. As an application piece, the 5950 is not a watch to be easily found at any retailer and is only reserved for Patek Philippe’s best clients.

Aesthetics aside, the 5950 boasts perhaps the most impressive and high-end caliber in watchmaking. The caliber CHR 27-525 PS is the thinnest column-wheel chronograph caliber ever made. Sitting at only 5.25 mm in thickness, the 5950 was thus deemed the thinnest split seconds chronograph made at its time. Furthermore, this said caliber was Patek Philippe’s first ever in-house chronograph movement, which is a large feat for the brand.
