Patek Philippe’s 2025 novelties include a handful of remarkable complications, elegant refreshes and rare creations worth knowing about.
Geneva’s horological calendar wouldn’t feel complete without a moment of reverence for Patek Philippe, and this year’s showcase at Watches and Wonders was precisely that. Fifteen new models were introduced, each brimming with the kind of quiet complexity and craftsmanship the maison is known for. Three new movements anchor the technical side of things: a self-winding Quadruple Complication, a desk clock with both a perpetual and weekly calendar and a 31-day power reserve, and a new Calatrava model featuring instantaneous day and date displays with an impressive eight-day reserve.
Among the releases is the Quadruple Complication Reference 5308G-001, a symphony of horological mastery cased in white gold. Originally presented in Tokyo in 2023 as a limited edition, this version joins the regular lineup, though nothing about it feels ‘regular’. It has a minute repeater, split-seconds chronograph and an instantaneous perpetual calendar with aperture displays. It houses the new calibre R CHR 27 PS QI, a feat of engineering that includes two patented innovations designed to optimise the split-seconds function. The dial, a crisp iceblue sunburst, gives it an almost serene façade.
Then there’s the Perpetual Calendar Retrograde Date Reference 6159G-001, a beautiful reimagining of one of Patek’s most coveted complications. The sapphire crystal dial, tinted with grey metallisation, gives a subtle view into the mechanical heart of the timepiece. It is framed by a white gold case with a bezel featuring the classic Clous de Paris or hobnail guilloché motif. Inside beats the self-winding calibre 26-330 S QR – reliable, elegant and designed for those who appreciate the nuances.
For something with a more contemporary silhouette, there’s the new Cubitus collection. The sporty and elegant timepieces come in a 40mm case that features a distinctive square with rounded corner design, brought to life in either white gold with a blue-grey dial or rose gold with a rich brown tone. Both Reference 7128/1G-001 and 7128/1R-001 feature a sleek bracelet with a hidden adjustment system, a 21-carat gold rotor and the same calibre as the perpetual calendar.
On the more playful end, the Ladies’ Nautilus Reference 7010G-013 gets a pop of colour with a new azure blue dial, matched by a composite strap or white gold bracelet. At 32mm, it’s dainty without being delicate, and the signature wave-pattern dial, framed by a row of 46 brilliant-cut diamonds, gives it just the right amount of sparkle. Powered by a quartz movement, it’s easy to wear but still unmistakably Patek.
Beyond the wristwatches, Patek Philippe also revealed a fascinating assortment of rare handcrafts and exceptional timepieces, right from dome table clocks to one-off pocket watches. These creations celebrate métiers d’art techniques and timeless forms, offering collectors and enthusiasts a glimpse into the brand’s more artistic, often under-theradar expressions of watchmaking.
