Just after Baselworld of this year, our editor in chief Jack Forster gave us a superb look at a watch that, as he put it then "is a reminder of why Patek enjoys the reputation that it does," a true grand complication in its reference 5204R. The split-seconds chronograph with perpetual calendar in rose gold was introduced with a silver opaline dial and offered on a lovely leather strap – a traditional offering, not intended to offend anyone. Today, however, we caught wind of a new take on the 5204R, and it's a big, bad mother if there ever was one.
