Description
Patek Philippe Aquanaut Advanced Research Aquanaut 5650G Travel Time White Gold
The Travel Time complication remains the very cleverly engineered version implemented in the 5990 Nautilus and 5164 Aquanaut for instance
A few words about the Travel Time complication itself
The Travel Time complication is very clever as it can be set back and forth without risking damaging the movement.
Firstly, the hour hand is conveniently able to go forward or backward (with the pushers at 9 o’clock) and the date will then follow the hour hand passing midnight (hence forward and backward too). This is a major design feature that makes this Patek complication quite special.
Secondly, the pushers at 9 o’clock can’t be activated accidentally together. A little piece, linked to one pusher, prevents from doing so by disengaging a lever that activates the right gear.
Thirdly, a cam integrated to the hour wheel prevents the date from a manual change around midnight.
This is an interestingly developed complication in which several clever and simple (thus usually more reliable) ideas prevent the owner from making the wrong move.
This travel time is indeed very practical and can be set very quickly (with buttons and not via the crown) with safety for the movement.
The 2 Day & Night indicators allow to follow the moment of the day for each places (practical to avoid awckward middle of the night calls)
Back to the 5650G, aesthetically, you have certainly noticed that this 5th Advanced Research generation received an unusual open dial (that I didn’t know what to think of from the press pictures). In real, not only the finishing and light reflections are very enjoyable to look at but you just keep on playing with the pushers to see the flexible parts moving (useful during meetings).
This is how we’ve been provided with the references:
- 5250 (2005, Annual Calendar, 100 pcs);
- 5350 (2006, Annual Calendar, 300 pcs);
- 5450 (2008, Annual Calendar, 300 pcs);
- 5550 (2011, Perpetual Calendar, 300 pcs).
However, in 2017, we’ve discovered another kind of innovation in the Patek Philippe 5650G Aquanaut, the 5th Advanced Research reference: a new Spiromax balance spring and a new pushers display.
(This is a long article but I thought it was worth it!)
The movement and its 2 new innovations
What is the original purpose of a watch or, more precisely, of a movement: it’s about accuracy and reliability. Both innovations included in this “Advanced Research” 5650G are cleverly and simply bringing a concrete improvement in those fields.
As usual with Patek, this is something that isn’t obvious at first, that looks simple, but that definitely brings enhancement to watchmaking.
New Spiromax Balance Spring with patented terminal curve and inner boss
The new 5650 Aquanaut is firstly including a new innovative Spiromax balance spring made of Silinvar (a Silicon-based material). To improve isochronism, they added a new inner boss to the outer boss introduced in previous references.
