Every New Patek Phillippe Released at Watches and Wonders

Patek Philippe’s 2026 collection feels less like a reset and more like a carefully crafted refinement. Twenty new references, each one reinforcing the idea that evolution is the house style. Complications become more expressive, simple watches become sharper, and even the most technical pieces take on a clearer point of view.

There’s a real range here. A celestial watch that tracks sunrise and sunset. A Cubitus that steps into grand complication territory. An alarm that chimes instead of buzzes. And, quietly anchoring it all, a renewed focus on craft, from rare handcrafted automata to some of the cleanest Calatravas in years.

And then there’s the anniversary. Fifty years of the Nautilus, marked by four limited editions that return to the essentials. White gold, platinum, ultra-thin calibres. No theatrics, just reverence. It’s a reminder that even the most disruptive design eventually becomes a classic.

Celestial Sunrise and Sunset Ref. 6105G-001 

Patek Philippe expands one of its most poetic complications by adding something entirely new. The Celestial now displays sunrise and sunset times, layered into its familiar rotating sky chart. The effect is subtle at first glance, but transformative once you realise what’s happening. This is no longer just a map of the heavens. It’s a daily cycle made visible.

The dial remains the centrepiece. A deep blue sky in motion, tracking sidereal time, lunar phases, and now the arc of daylight itself. The technical achievement sits beneath the surface, including a patented system that allows the time and solar indications to adjust together. It’s complex, but it reads as calm.

Case size: 47 mm
Case material: White gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Black composite
Movement: Calibre 240 C LU CL LCSO

50 Years Nautilus Desk Clock Ref. 958G-001 

And then Patek Philippe does something unexpected. The Nautilus becomes a desk clock. Same case language, same horizontal dial, but scaled up and reimagined as an object rather than a watch.

Inside is an eight-day manually wound movement, complete with day, date, and power reserve. The hinged back opens to reveal the mechanics, turning it into something closer to a mechanical instrument than an accessory. It’s unusual, slightly eccentric, and very Patek. A nod to the past, but also a reminder that the Nautilus was never meant to be predictable.

Case size: 50.65 mm
Case material: White gold
Water resistance: Dust and humidity protected (not water resistant)
Strap/Bracelet: None (desk clock format)
Movement: Calibre 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J

50 Years Nautilus Ref. 5610/1P-001 

This is the quiet standout. A 38 mm platinum Nautilus that returns to the medium size, something collectors have been asking for without quite saying it. The proportions shift just enough to feel different. More compact, more focused.

Like the others, it sticks to hours and minutes. The platinum case adds presence, while the signature diamond at nine o’clock marks the material in the most discreet way possible. It’s understated, but intentional.

Case size: 38 mm
Case material: Platinum
Water resistance: 30 m
Bracelet: Platinum bracelet
Movement: Calibre 240

50 Years Nautilus Ref. 5810G-001 

The second take on the Jumbo shifts the tone slightly. Same case, same movement, same stripped-back display. But here, the bracelet is replaced with a composite strap, and the dial features baguette-cut diamond markers.

It changes the feel more than expected. A bit sportier, a bit more relaxed, but still precise. The diamonds are subtle, integrated into the design rather than sitting on top. It’s a reminder that the Nautilus has always balanced utility and polish.

Case size: 41 mm
Case material: White gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Navy composite with cream stitching
Movement: Calibre 240

50 Years Nautilus Ref. 5810/1G-001 

For the 50th anniversary, Patek Philippe returns the Nautilus to its purest expression. The Reference 5810/1G-001 keeps things simple: hours and minutes only, no date, nothing to interrupt the line. What remains is the design itself. The case, the bezel, the horizontal dial. All of it comes forward.

In white gold with a full bracelet, it carries more weight than the original steel versions, but the ultra-thin calibre 240 keeps the profile remarkably slim. The blue sunburst dial, with its familiar embossing, feels almost unchanged, which is the point. This is about refinement, not reinvention.

Case size: 41 mm
Case material: 18-karat white gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Bracelet: Integrated white gold bracelet
Movement: Calibre 240

Cubitus Perpetual Calendar Skeleton Ref. 5840P-001 

Cubitus makes its most serious move yet. The 5840P-001 introduces the first grand complication to the collection, featuring a fully skeletonised perpetual calendar. The square movement isn’t a gimmick. It’s a new foundation with staying power.

Everything is aligned—case, movement, dial. The monochrome finishing keeps it restrained, while the large moonphase adds a sense of scale. It’s technical, but it reads perfectly.

Case size: 45 mm
Case material: Platinum
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Navy composite
Movement: Calibre 28-28 Q SQU

“The Crow and the Fox” Hours and Minutes on Demand Automaton Ref. 5249R-001 

Patek loves surprises! Here is a wonderful example where Patek Philippe lets itself be playful, but only just. The 5249R-001 is the brand’s first automaton wristwatch in modern history, inspired by a 1958 museum piece. Time isn’t always visible. You have to ask for it.

Press the pusher, and the dial comes alive. The fox indicates the hours, the crow drops the minutes. It’s a small mechanical theatre, executed with extreme precision. Around it, the dial is crafted from layers of engraved gold, requiring well over 100 hours of work. Wow, oh wow!

Case size: 43 mm
Case material: 18-karat rose gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Brown alligator
Movement: Calibre 31-260 PS HMD AU

Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Haute Joaillerie Ref. 5374/400P-001 

This is where things get rare. A minute repeater with perpetual calendar, set with Paraiba tourmalines and an iridescent mother-of-pearl dial.

Only a handful will exist. It’s as much jewellery as it is watchmaking. A perfect example of Patek having a little fun and showing off. Why? Because they can..

Case size: 42 mm
Case material: Platinum
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Alligator
Movement: Calibre R 27 Q

Minute Repeater Ref. 7047G-001 

The minute repeater gets a more contemporary setting. The 7047G pairs one of Patek’s most traditional complications with a design that feels almost industrial.

A navy dial with a subtle carbon texture gives it edge, while the movement remains as refined as ever. The repeater is thin, precise, and built for clarity. The touches of orange are unexpected and cool.

Case size: 38 mm
Case material: 18-karat white gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Alligator
Movement: Calibre R 27 PS

Split-Seconds Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5204G-010 

One of Patek Philippe’s most complete watches, slightly recalibrated. The 5204G-010 keeps the flyback chronograph and perpetual calendar intact, but shifts the tone with a navy dial and sportier red topstitched strap.

It’s still a serious watch. But it feels more wearable, less formal, without losing any of its technical depth.

Case size: 40 mm
Case material: 18-karat white gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Blue composite
Movement: Calibre CHR 29-535 PS Q

Chronograph Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5270P-015 / 016 / 017 

Three new versions of a modern classic. The 5270P continues to define the perpetual calendar chronograph, now with gradient lacquer dials in charcoal, blue, and red.

The colours shift the mood, but the architecture remains. It’s still one of the most balanced dials, providing tons of information in a sporty, cool package. All in platinum, no less.

Case size: 41 mm
Case material: Platinum
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Alligator
Movement: Calibre CH 29-535 PS Q

Annual Calendar Moon Phases Ref. 5396R-016 

If the 4946G looks forward, the 5396R-016 looks inward. This is the Annual Calendar in its most classical form, released to mark 30 years of the complication. A sand-beige sunburst dial and rose gold case keep everything warm, balanced, and restrained.

The dial is pure Patek: day and month apertures at 12, date at 6, and a 24-hour subdial with moonphase. Inside, the calibre 26-330 S QA LU 24 delivers the same ease of use, requiring one correction per year.

Case size: 38.5 mm
Case material: Rose gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Dark brown alligator leather
Movement: Calibre 26-330 S QA LU 24

In-Line Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5236P-011 

The in-line perpetual calendar remains one of Patek Philippe’s most quietly radical ideas. Day, date, and month are aligned in a single aperture.

This new version leans into understatement. Silver tones, clean layout, almost nothing to distract from the easy-to-read display.

Case size: 41 mm
Case material: Platinum
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Alligator
Movement: Calibre 31-260 PS QL

Annual Calendar Moon Phases Ref. 4946G-001 

Patek Philippe refines its most practical complication with a lighter, more contemporary touch. The new 4946G-001 pairs a white gold case with a cool blue-grey “shantung” dial and an unexpected denim-textured strap, shifting the Annual Calendar away from formality and towards everyday wear.

Powered by the self-winding calibre 26-330 S QA LU, it still requires just one adjustment per year. A familiar complication, rethought for how people actually dress now.

Case size: 38 mm
Case material: 18-karat white gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Blue-grey calfskin “denim” strap
Movement: Calibre 26-330 S QA LU

Date Sweep Seconds Ref. 5227G-015 

A return to the essentials for Patek purists. The 5227G-015 is pure Calatrava, with a polished white officers’ gold case and a warm salmon-colour rose-gilt dial.

Nothing unnecessary. Just proportion, finishing, and balance. A timeless classic, when less is definitely more.

Case size: 39 mm
Case material: White gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Brown alligator
Movement: Calibre 26-330 S C

Ladies Calatrava Ref. 7200/50G-001 / 012 

Two mechanical Calatravas that lean into light. Sand beige or ice blue, both with a feminine, almost luminous quality.

They’re simple, pretty, and very discrete. Slim, elegant, and easy to wear.

Case size: 34.6 mm
Case material: 18-karat white gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Calfskin or alligator
Movement: Calibre 240

Golden Ellipse Ref. 5738G-001 / 3738/100G-014 

The Golden Ellipse returns with colour. Olive green dials that shift depending on the light, paired with the familiar elliptical case.

It’s a quiet update, but an effective one. The iconic 70s shape still feels as unique and timeless as ever.

Case size: Jumbo and Medium
Case material: White gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Green calfskin
Movement: Calibre 240

World Time Ref. 7129J-001 

World Time returns with a bit more attitude. Reference 7129J-001 pairs a 36 mm yellow gold case with a rich carmine-red dial, hand-guilloché in a basketweave pattern. It’s bold, but still precise.

The architecture is unchanged: city ring, 24-hour disk, and instant readability across all time zones. The ultra-thin calibre 240 HU keeps things slim, while the pusher at 10 o’clock allows seamless time-zone jumps. Classic Patek, just turning up the heat!

Case size: 36 mm
Case material: Yellow gold
Water resistance: 30 m
Strap: Carmine red alligator leather
Movement: Calibre 240 HU
