Patek Philippe is unveiling twenty new creations and a four limited editions Nautilus anniversary, reflecting the Manufacture’s creativity and know-how.

On the occasion of Watches & Wonders 2026, Patek Philippe affirms yet again its singular position in the world of fine watchmaking. Heir to an extraordinary wealth of history and expertise, the Genevan Manufacture perpetuates a tradition of excellence where creativity nourishes technical innovation and each creation combines aesthetic perfection with horological mastery. True to its tradition of innovation, this year Patek Philippe is unveiling new models that express all the vitality and depth of its know-how. Technical mastery reasserts itself particularly in the first Patek Philippe grand complication wristwatch to display the times of sunrise and sunset; and the first grand complication in the Cubitus collection; and a grand complication endowed with a 24-hour alarm function. The Genevan tradition of Rare Handcrafts and horological complications is also under the spotlight with the presentation of the first automaton wristwatch in the Manufacture’s modern history. This piece was inspired by a unique pocket watch exhibited in the Patek Philippe Museum, indicating the hours and minutes on demand and conceived by Louis Cottier in 1958. Similarly to previous years, this vintage also reveals a series of new refined interpretations, where aesthetic sense, elegance and the constant quest for excellence come together in every detail. Finally, 2026 offers Patek Philippe the occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of an icon of sporty elegance, the Nautilus, with four new versions in limited editions.

Quintessence of timeless elegance, the Calatrava collection is welcoming a new version of Reference 5227, destined to enchant purists. The understated design of the new Reference 5227G-015 combines a fully polished white-gold case, 39 mm in diameter, with a concave bezel and hollowed, incurved lugs. Its dial in rose-gilt opaline is enriched with applied obus-type hour markers and faceted dauphine hands, all in charcoal-gray white gold. The “Officer”-style case, with a sapphire-crystal case back protected by an invisibly-hinged dust cover, affords a private view of the caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement with the date in an aperture and a seconds hand from the center. An alligator-leather strap in shiny chocolate brown with a prong buckle in white gold adds the final touch.
