Patek Philippe World Time Minute Repeater 5531G Limited Edition Milano 2026
The Patek Philippe World Time Minute Repeater 5531G Limited Edition Milano 2026 revives the iconic 5531 reference with two white‑gold variants, 5531G‑012 and 5531G‑013, each limited to five pieces. Both models feature a 40.2 mm white‑gold case with hand‑guilloché Clous de Paris detailing, interchangeable solid and sapphire‑crystal casebacks, and a Grand Feu cloisonné enamel dial that portrays Milan by day or by night. The dial incorporates a World Time display with 24 city names and a day/night ring, while the open‑worked hour hand is inspired by the Southern Cross constellation and the minute hand is lozenge‑shaped, both in white gold. Powered by the in‑house calibre R‑27 HU, the self‑winding movement combines a minute repeater that strikes local time for the selected city, a world‑time complication, and a 43‑48‑hour power reserve, all housed in a 32 mm, 452‑part architecture. The watches are presented with distinctive straps: a light‑brown grained calfskin strap with cream stitching for the daytime version and a midnight‑blue calfskin strap with red stitching for the nocturnal version, each finished with a white‑gold fold‑over clasp. While water resistance is not offered, the pieces are protected against humidity and dust. Pricing has yet to be confirmed, and further details are available through Patek Philippe’s official channels.
