Description
Built around a retrograde, Patek Philippe Complications 5249R-001 Hours And Minutes On Demand Automaton 'The Crow and the Fox' Rose Gold Matara (2026) combines a 43mm rose gold case, an opaline matara brown dial, and an automatic movement.
The complication operates by pressing the pusher at two o'clock: two curved retrograde scales spring forward to display hours and minutes while the applied gold fox and crow figures animate on the dial surface, then the scales retract and the animals return to their positions among the hand-engraved foliage. The opaline matara brown dial on an 18K gold plate presents applied fox and crow figures in contrasting colours amid hand-engraved gold foliage, with two curved retrograde scales for hours and minutes activated on demand.
The 43mm rose gold Officer's-style case carries a sapphire crystal case back protected by a dust cover with invisible hinges.
The translation of a 1958 pocket watch concept into a self-winding wristwatch caliber — achieved through the purpose-built 31-260 PS HMD AU — represents one of the most technically demanding horological projects in the 2026 calendar year. Caliber 31-260 PS HMD AU, self-winding with platinum off-center minirotor, powers the movement.
A shiny chocolate brown square-scale alligator strap with rose gold triple-blade fold-over clasp completes the reference.
The watch dates to 2026; it is described in new condition and is offered with its original box and original papers.
