Not a problem and many thanks again! ;-) I'm currently updating your original post with the official info I received from Patek, as I don't think most of this is on the official site yet. Cheers.

The new limited edition watches from Patek's exhibition in Tokyo

Patek just uploaded all the limited editions including the 5531 world time minute repeater on instagram

Special pieces 👌🏽

+1, in full agreement on this stunning Golden Ellipse Rare Handcraft dial! Here's a closeup for you, please see further below for the official description of this reference. Cheers.

Huge thanks for the first live pictures of the marvelous limited editions for the Tokyo Exhibit, Sir! So I'm taking the liberty to add all the official info I just received from Patek to your thread, with the various press releases, technical info, etc..

🙏🏼

Not a problem and many thanks again! ;-) I'm currently updating your original post with the official info I received from Patek, as I don't think most of this is on the official site yet. Cheers.

Glad I can be useful 😊

🙏🥂

Thanks again, I'm likely done with editing your original post and have added further info below in reply, as it came in from Patek today.

😳🙏🏼🙏🏼

;-)

Here is the official press release for the Exhibition:

The 5330G is quite interesting, I must say.

Thanks Nico, that is a new WT model where the main novelty is a patented date synchronized with the local time. I wouldn’t be surprised if we also see a (non-limited) 5330 in the regular catalog in the near future!😉👍

What I was thinking, too, but you never know with Anniversary pieces. Cf the 5575...

That is correct for the 5575G (though this is not an anniversary... :-))

For what event it was?

The 5575G was for the 175 Anniversary, "limited" to 1300 pieces (year 2014)👍

Aaah, so it was an anniversary???

The 5575 was definitely an anniversary piece, but *this* (the 5330) is not! Let's see if it makes a difference.... ;-)))

Ah ok, I got it!

😂❤️

A 15-page, detailed introduction of the six special editions that I just received from Patek, which includes the full technical data for each reference:

And finally (for now), the official press release with a detailed description of the amazing Tokyo Rare Handcrafts, which I believe is also a new document. Enjoy! :-)

Below please find a few more official pictures of the stunning new 5531R-014, whose enamel dial represents the historical Chuo district in Tokyo. It is a special edition of 15 for the local market! ;-)

Below are some very useful "Key Points" that came in from Patek on the six limited editions, I believe this is also a new document:

Thanks, Fab!

🙏🥂Cheers my friend.

Thank you very much for the information!

My pleasure, I’m sure our Members and good collectors from Japan will be allocated some of these beauties!👍🥂Cheers.

And finally, Patek's Key Points for the stunning Tokyo Rare Handcraft releases! Enjoy my friends! :-)

A little more information for you on two of the most interesting Tokyo Rare Handcrafts, the twin Refs. 5089G-124 and -125, "Tsuba -- Oranges and Flowers," featuring the technique of hand-engraving!

Out of this world stuff! Thank you.

Correct, I believe the distribution of these special editions will all happen via the local ADs👍

Thanks for the report and the news.

That table clock is awesome.

Thanks for commenting Gatsby, I'll include below some more info on this unique table clock for you and all other interested members, since I believe there is still nothing available on Patek's site. Cheers.

Some photos of Tokyo editions and rare handcrafts I took today

Beautiful! Thank you !!

Fantastic photoreport, many thanks for these live pics! Both the 5177Gs and the 5738/50G "Kabuki actor" (amazingly, the latter is in wood marquetry!) look totally spectacular! Enjoy the Exhibit and also our forum's GTG Brandon! ;-) Cheers.

Impressive pieces! Thanks for sharing photos and info!

A little more info now from Patek on the amazing table clock Ref. 25014M-001, "Tokyo as the Crow Flies," a unique piece in cloisonné enamel!

WOW, I love the 6127G!!!

At 36mm this reference is obviously a nod to the local market, so it would be interesting to see if it ever makes it into the regular catalog (I genuinely have no idea at this time)….perhaps again as a set with the 7127 at 31mm?😂😉 Cheers.

hopefully it goes global with other variants

A critical thing to pay attention to with the Calatrava line will be to keep producing highly sought-after models, and I frankly see a risk with this reference in the regular catalog… But it’s true smaller sizes are coming back to some extent.

I understand the wider appeal of bigger calatravas

Undeniably, many collectors have shown a strong preference for larger sizes during the last 10 to 15 years, and this is also the direction Patek is taking for most of its newer models, including the Calatrava collection.

Thanks for the analysis!

Fully agreed, including on the 5330 (if it enters the regular catalog in the near future, which is not unlikely, that will remain its size! ;-) The 5230P (but I wouldn’t totally rule out a 5396…) will make lots of sense, also in terms of accessibility.

The platinum is really lovely, I agree

;-)

Thanks for sharing !

To wrap up (for now), a few more useful details and pictures on a couple of very popular Rare Handcrafts, since Patek's official site might take a while to update on this part. Let's start with the amazing Ref. 5738/50G-025, “Snow-Covered Landscape”:

As for our Dome Clocks, a lesser-known but equally important part of Patek's Rare Handcraft production, eight clocks were created to celebrate the Tokyo Exhibit --- all unique pieces! Here's for you the stunning Ref. 20140M-001, "Calligraphy":

The 5575 was definitely an anniversary piece, but this (the 5330) is not! Let's see if it makes a difference.... ;-)))
