Patek Philippe Run-Out List 2023

An annual Patek Philippe’s Run-Out List reveals which models will soon disappear from the portfolio. From the manufacture’s most complicated watch, the Grandmaster Chime, to the first minute repeater that always chimes local time, a number of watches will be taken out of the line-up this year that are likely to be of particular interest to collectors. Below we present all the watches that will soon be no longer in production.

Grandes Complications


With the references, 5078G-001, 5078G-010, 5178G-001, three minute repeaters say goodbye to the Grandes Complications range.

The perpetual calendar complication has also lost three, with the references 5204R-011, 5271P-001 and 5316P-001.

The next discontinued model should make Patek Philippe enthusiasts’ hearts beat faster. The Grandmaster Chime, Ref. 6300G-010, a Double-face wristwatch with reversible case and two opal blue dials, will soon no longer find it’s way out of the manufacture. The total of 20 complications, including five striking functions, make it the most complicated Patek Philippe has ever made. The Ref. 5531R-012 is a pioneer in combining the minute repeater with a world time watch. This mechanism is underlined by a refined aesthetic with a rose gold case and cloisonné enamel, in the dial interior depicting the Lavaux vineyard landscape on the shores of Lake Geneva – which will soon no longer exist either.

Complications


The Ref. 5905R-001 with a rose gold case and a brown sunburst dial cleverly combines two particularly popular complications: a chronograph with flyback function and automatic winding, and a patented annual calendar. Now it too may bid farewell. The Ref. 7150/250R-001, a ladies’ chronograph with manual winding, housed in a round rose gold case, is also being withdrawn from the range.

With the ref. 7234G-001, Patek Philippe takes the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time out of the product range. It features an aviation-inspired midnight blue dial alongside a white gold case measuring 37.5 mm. The next reference, the 7234R-001, differs from the last watch with its rose gold case; it too, will soon disappear from the collection of complicated watches.

Calatrava


The Calatrava line loses the sparkling Ref. 4978/400G-001, Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie. The white gold version with a diameter of 36.55 mm is set with a total of 770 spiral-shaped diamonds (approx. 4.4 ct.).

The Ref. 7200/200R a ladies Calatrava with Officier case and 168 diamonds will also soon no longer see the light of day.

Nautilus


Since 1976, the Nautilus, with its octagonal bezel featuring rounded edges and a dial with horizontal embossed décor, has been the impeccable symbol of sporty sophistication. Today, the Nautilus collection consists of numerous ladies’ wristwatches, among others. Four of these watches, the ref. 7010/1R-011, 7010R-011 with white dials and the ref. 7010/1R-012, 7010R-012 with gold dials are now being withdrawn from the range. The bezels on all versions are studded with 46 diamonds, while inside the quartz movement calibre E 23-250 does the job.

Aquanaut


The Aquanaut line also has to sacrifice one of its ladies’ timepieces, the Ref. 5268/200R-001 offered a sporty and simple look with its case diameter of 38.8 mm until last.

Twenty 4


With the quartz watch Twenty~4, Patek Philippe embodies a timeless feminine elegance. Now the ref. 4910/1201R-001, a rose gold version with a brown sunburst dial, is discontinued.
