What is the 5208? It's a self-winding Grand Complication wristwatch with minute repeater, monopusher chronograph, instantaneous perpetual calendar with apertures, and moon phases.

It's a follow-up to 2008's ref. 5207. The 5208 is the Manufacture's first triple-complication with chronograph.



In the current collection of Patek Philippe’s Grand Complication wristwatches, the Ref. 5208P ranks second, directly behind the Sky Moon Tourbillon, and before the Ref. 5207 (minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar with aperture displays) and the Ref. 5216 (minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar with retrograde date).

Simply magnificent! I love the hollowed-out lugs and overall look of the piece. Wonderful!
