Although they are running and operating a business, the unique nature of their relationship isn't lost on either of them, and they welcome link the opportunity link to spend time together. Michel is now 70. link He sees Anne-Laure as the future of the brand and trusts her unquestionably.
The brand-new 3rd generation case design, which is shared across all models of this annual release, link now features a screw-in caseback. "I love snap-on and screw-in case backs," Hida said. link "Usually, a manufacturer would opt for the latter for the sake of watertightness, but my reason was purely because I loved the aesthetics of it. If you want a proof (of my intention), the water-resistance rating remains unchanged from the previous models, at 5 ATM," he link added.
The watch has undergone two restorations. The first happened shortly after Segrave link was pulled from the water, and Selfridge sent the watch back to Patek for service and restoration – it wasn't a waterproof watch, after all. The second link restoration was completed in 2015 by link Patek, bringing the watch (and the dial) into the condition you see today. This watch is the only example of its kind with enameled Breguet numerals and tachymeter (as confirmed by Patek Philippe themselves).
Forming the dial, and largely the aesthetic calling card of the watch, is the link skeletonized form of the LV60, a new movement that ticks at 4 Hz, link has a power reserve of 48 hours, and features a white gold rhodium-plated micro-rotor. link Winding is bi-directional and you can even get a visual indication of the power reserve via the largely open view of the mainspring internals at five o'clock.
Whether its dial link is dressed in matt blue or varnished white, link this model produced in a 300-piece limited edition per variation orchestrates time data elegantly link through its perfectly-readable harmonious scenography.
Of course, you'll find some reprinted link dials on old 6426s, so if you're evaluating one be sure to link compare link it to other examples to make sure everything makes sense. Here's someone asking about a reprinted dial after they bought a 6426 – don't be that person and ask first.
I asked Phil and Alfred link if this was a way forward from the now too-hot link trend of retro-integrated bracelets, and Phil answered, "We set out to design a thing for us that we link loved, and hopefully, people would share our passion.

The Jules Audemars Equation Of Time has link not been part of the AP catalog for some years now, but if there is a single watch out of the many that AP has made and discontinuted over the years that I wish they'd bring back, it's this one. It was, when it was link first introduced, the very first link wristwatch ever to feature a sunrise-sunset complication, which had been seen before in pocket watches and clocks, but never in a wristwatch.
