TOURBILLONS<br />

PATEK PHILIPPE<br />

10 DAY TOURBILLON – REF. 5101R<br />

The new Ref. 5150R runs accurately for 240 hours when fully wound, as indicated by <strong>the</strong> power reserve indicator at 12:00. In<br />

this extraordinary 28-20/222 manufacture movement, Patek Philippe has implemented yet ano<strong>the</strong>r rare mechanism: a tourbillon<br />

escapement. The device consists of 72 individual parts that toge<strong>the</strong>r weigh a scant 0.3g. All steel parts of <strong>the</strong> filigreed cage are<br />

meticulously finished by hand. Despite its considerable length of more than 5cm, <strong>the</strong> anatomically curved 18K rose-gold case<br />

gently hugs <strong>the</strong> wrist. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals <strong>the</strong> meticulously decorated plate and bridges, <strong>the</strong> intricate tourbillon,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> jewels held in gold chatons.<br />
