The Western calendar commonly used in modern society today, the Gregorian calendar, is based on the astronomical basis that the earth takes 365.2422 solar days to circle the sun. This calendar is characterized by long and short months. Moreover, July, August, December, and January are two consecutive long months; except February, which is particularly short, there is a leap every four years, and February changes from 28th to 29th. Finally, the modern calendar stipulates that The year that is evenly divided is called a leap year, but a multiple of 100 is not a leap year with exception.
Because of the irregularities of the modern calendar, it is actually very difficult to create a so-called “perpetual calendar” watch that can correctly calculate and display the hours, minutes, years, days, and years without adjustment. Therefore, according to Patek Philippe’s current watch classification, perpetual calendar watches are classified as “super-complexity”, juxtaposed with split-second chronographs, minute repeaters, minute repeater tourbillons and other major complex performance watches.
In addition to the perpetual calendar display, Patek Philippe’s 324 S QR self-winding movement also has an additional complex performance of the flyback date hand display. The date hand moves along an arc of 270 degrees, and when the last day of a month is close to midnight, the hand will jump back to the display position of the number “1”. At the moment when it automatically returns to the position, the pointer will leave the gear set and quickly and accurately lock to the “1” position to prevent it from accidentally jumping above the number one or two days before or after the display. In the movement code, S stands for the third hand, Q stands for the perpetual calendar, and R stands for the automatic flyback pointer date display.
