Rare Handcrafts represents Patek Philippe's designation for pieces incorporating traditional artistic crafts practiced at the highest artisanal level, preserving techniques that would otherwise disappear. Every visible surface of the officer's-style case — bezel, lugs, sides, crown, buckle, and hinged caseback — is entirely hand-engraved with foliate and volute motifs inspired by a pocket watch in the Patek Philippe Museum, transforming this perpetual calendar into a genuine work of métiers d'art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 38mm officer's-style case in 18-karat white gold features the entirely hand-engraved surfaces including a hinged dust cover concealing the sapphire display back. The silvery opaline dial carries a hand-engraved foliate center, black Roman numeral hours, a red-tipped retrograde date pointer sweeping across an arc of alternating Arabic numerals, apertures for day at nine, leap year at twelve, and month at three, and a moon phase at six. The self-winding Caliber 324 S QR — a perpetual calendar with retrograde date — delivers 45 hours of reserve and requires no correction until 2100, completed by a black alligator strap with hand-engraved white gold fold-over clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48842128326900,"sku":"P6692S","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7141\/5373\/files\/patek-philippe-grand-complications-5160g-001-retrograde-perpetual-calendar-white-gold-silvery-opaline-dial-rare-handcrafts-2013-patek-philippe-1248373167.png?v=1783616848","url":"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/products\/patek-philippe-grand-complications-5160g-001-retrograde-perpetual-calendar-white-gold-silvery-opaline-dial-rare-handcrafts-2013","provider":"Wrist Aficionado","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
