Patek Complications Historical Background
Patek Philippe introduced its first complication feature in wristwatches in 1932 with the Ref. 96 model. This model had a perpetual calendar, which at that time emphasized the uniqueness and high level of the brand. Its timeless design and innovative functionality have strengthened Patek Philippe's reputation as a leader in luxury watchmaking.
Over time this feature has been found in many Patek models; take the Ref. 3970, which was released in 1985. It has an automatically adjustable complication whose calendar displays the date, day, month, and year, which also adjusts the length of the month automatically.
Patek Philippe complication models have a lot of sophisticated details that we don't find in other wrist watches. The Patek Philippe Ref. 5204 complication model features the chronograph function, which allows us to time events precisely with the split-seconds complication, which allows you to measure several time intervals simultaneously.
Patek's next complication model, Ref. 5213, allows the date to move along the curved scale, resetting automatically at the end of the month, adding a unique visual element to the watch.
