Patek Philippe launched this brilliant color pairing this year during Watches and Wonders, with the deep green hue garnering attention; yet, it is the warm complements of the rose gold case that truly make this timepiece a fall standout. Designed in the ultimate autumnal color palette, Ref. 5205 boasts a rich olive green sunburst dial with a black-gradient rim, adding a sophisticated depth to the dial, complete with faceted gold-applied hour markers. To contrast the dial, the case is designed with rose gold, and distinguished by its concave bezel, its hollowed flanks, and its skeletonized lugs. The timepiece is fitted with a handstitched, two-tone green hand-painted alligator leather strap.

At the heart of the watch lies the self-winding mechanical movement, Caliber 324 S QA LU 24H, equipped with the legendary patented Patek Philippe Annual calendar mechanism requiring only one manual adjustment per year, at the end of the month of February. The movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
