Patek Philippe: a limited edition for the beauty of Rome

With a new series of limited edition timepieces, Patek Philippe pays tribute to the now historic Roman partner Hausmann & Co. on the occasion of the opening of the single-brand boutique in the capital, in conjunction with the 225th anniversary and the centennial collaboration with the dealer.

The Swiss fashion house has created a collection dedicated to the city of Rome, playing on the lexical construction of the number 225, for two new watches from the Rare Handcraft collection with a cloisonné enamel dial depicting the Spanish Steps and Castel Sant’Angelo.

These are two unique pieces, which are added to the hundred copies of the Calatrava ref collection. 5296, 50 in pink gold and 50 white, with all-new dials indicating the XII hours with Roman numerals, and 25 models of World Hours ref. 5230R with a purple-red guilloché dial at the center, the color of the eternal city, and an indication of Rome on the disk of time zones, with a solid bottom or sapphire crystal to close the automatic winding movements and engraved “Hausmann & Co. 1794-2019 ".
