5249R-001Ref

Launched in 2026, the Patek Philippe Complications 5249R-001 is an automaton timepiece featuring an on-demand retrograde display, drawing inspiration from a 1958 Louis Cottier pocket watch in the Patek Philippe Museum. The 43 mm rose gold officer-style case includes a sapphire back with a dust cover, a turban crown, and 30-metre water resistance, while the dial displays hand-engraved fox and crow motifs. Powering the watch is the self-winding calibre 31-260 PS HMD AU, which utilizes an off-centre platinum mini-rotor and a patented disengaging clutch. It is finished with a shiny chocolate brown alligator strap and a rose gold triple-blade folding clasp.
