Patek Philippe Automaton 5249R-001

The Manufacture presents the first automaton wristwatch in its contemporary history, inspired by a pocket watch designed by Louis Cottier in 1958 that displays the hours and minutes on demand. Based on Jean de La Fontaine's fable The Crow and the Fox, the fascinating animation of time plays out on the surface of a rose gold Officer’s-style case and a brown “Matara” dial.
