Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5271/11P-010, Perpetual Calendar, Platinum, Sapphire Bezel, Laquered Blue Dial, 41 mm

The Blue Sapphire Patek Philippe 5271

The defining feature of Reference 5271/11P-010 is its use of blue sapphires. Patek Philippe set the bezel, lugs and platinum fold-over clasp with a total of 80 baguette-cut blue sapphires totaling approximately 5.16 carats. The gemstones complement a lacquered blue dial that transitions to black around its outer edge, while a shiny black alligator strap with contrasting blue stitching completes the design.

Beyond its gemstone setting, the Patek Philippe 5271/11P-010 belongs to an important lineage of perpetual calendar chronographs. Patek Philippe introduced Reference 1518 in 1941, beginning a succession of perpetual calendar chronographs that would ultimately lead to the modern 5270 and gem-set 5271.

Caliber CH 29-535 PS Q

Inside the Patek Philippe 5271 is the manually wound CH 29-535 PS Q caliber. Developed and manufactured by Patek Philippe, the movement combines a column-wheel chronograph with a horizontal clutch and a perpetual calendar.

The watch displays the day and month through apertures, the date by a hand, moon phases, leap-year indication, day/night indication, small seconds and an instantaneous 30-minute chronograph counter. The movement can be viewed through the sapphire-crystal case back.

Patek Philippe 5271 Price and Availability

The Patek Philippe 5271 price varies according to the exact reference, condition, year, provenance, accompanying box and papers and current market availability. Because gem-set Grand Complications are produced in comparatively limited numbers and availability can change, collectors should evaluate the specific reference rather than relying on a generalized price for the entire 5271 family.

Compare the Blue and Red Patek Philippe 5271

Avi & Co. currently offers two remarkable versions of the Patek Philippe 5271. In addition to this blue sapphire 5271/11P-010, collectors can explore the Patek Philippe 5271/12P-010, which pairs its platinum case with baguette-cut rubies and a lacquered red dial with a black-gradient rim.

Both watches share the manually wound CH 29-535 PS Q perpetual calendar chronograph movement, but their gemstone and dial treatments give each reference a dramatically different identity.
