Patek Philippe – Grand Complications 5208T-010 – Only Watch 2017


PATEK PHILIPPE Grand Complications Reference 5208T-010 Titanium 42 – Only Watch 2017

EXPERIENCE - A PATEK PHILIPPE DAY

Launched in 2011, the Reference 5208 Triple Complication wristwatch showcases Patek Philippe’s mastery in the sphere of grand complication watches. It brings together a minute repeater, a monopusher chronograph, and an instantaneous perpetual calendar displayed in apertures along an arc. This is also one of very few ultra-complicated watches endowed with a self-winding mechanism. Orchestrating this highly sophisticated combination of functions is a movement comprising 719 parts, hand-finished throughout in accordance with the great Genevan tradition.

Reference 5208T-010 was created specially for Only Watch 2017. It stands out as the first and only version of this timepiece ever produced in titanium, a metal rarely used for a Patek Philippe.


This unique piece features a blue dial adorned with a hand-guilloched carbon-fiber pattern, underlining the manufacture’s role as protector of the rare handcrafts.

The caliber R CH 27 PS QI movement, visible through a sapphire-crystal display back, also presents a distinctive finish with the entire movement being black rhodium-plated. The platinum micro-rotor is hand-guilloché with the same decoration as the dial. A blue Cordura strap echoes the dial color.

Only Watch Partnership

Now presenting its 7th Edition, Only Watch is a biennale auction of unique timepieces that has raised over 25 million Euros to date. Under the patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and following the initiative of Luc Pettavino, President of the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies, Only Watch is an international watchmaking charity event.


All of the funds collected from the sale of the watches are donated in their entirety to scientific and medical research. The exclusive watches will embark on a world tour starting in the charity’s hometown of Monaco, and then continuing to Asia, the Gulf, the United States and Europe, before the final auction in Geneva on November 11th 2017.

ANONIMO – Nautilo Blue LEOPARD Edition


















ANONIMONautilo Blue LEOPARD Limited Edition

Proud of its Leopard Racing teams, ANONOMO 
presents a dedicated limited edition

As an official sponsor of the Leopard Racing teams for the past two seasons, ANONIMO brings out a special limited edition Nautilo with the color "Blue Leopard". After starting the season with some impressive victories for the Moto3 and TCR teams, ANONIMO would like to congratulate all the sportsmen again. Only 97 copies of this watch will be available, so this limited edition showcased at the various circuits around the world will no doubt delight motor sports enthusiasts.

Leopard Natural Power Drink is an energy drink made from 100% natural ingredients. This refreshing, sugar-free drink quenches the thirst of the various race teams it supports throughout the year.

As the season starts, Leopard Racing drivers kept the lead of their respective championships. After two consecutive victories, the Spaniard Joan Mir places himself at the head of the classification of Motorbike3 in front of his teammate Livio Loi.

As for the Frenchman Jean-Karl Vernay, at the wheel of his car, he is also first in the TCR Championship. Less present in the media, but equally deserving of merit, are the Blue Leopard team of professional cyclists crisscrossing the many roads of Northern Europe.

Just as sparkling as the drink of these young champions, ANONIMO is proud to present a new limited series Nautilo this year. The same "Blue Leopard" colour appears on the bezel, the NATO bracelet and even the counterweight of the second hand, while each watch is also individually numbered. On the screwed back, a special LEOPARD decoration is engraved and there is also the engraving of the limited series of 97 pieces in tribute, and a reference, to the creation of Anonimo in 1997.

A reshaped dial appears through the slightly domed sapphire crystal with its anti-reflective coating. An echo of the ANONIMO logo is found at the point at midday, the numbers 20 and 40 engraved on the bezel, the appliques at noon, 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock in double stick form, which all go to evoke the traditional triangle of the brand.

In a 44.4 mm case combining brushed and DLC steel, this sports watch is equipped with the robust Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. With the date housed at 6 o’clock and a guaranteed water resistance to 200 meters, the combined ruggedness and functionality are resolutely assured by this piece.

This racing watch, supplied with a black rubber bracelet with grid patterns, will ideally suit watch enthusiasts who appreciate the chic-sports look.
