Patek Philippe used Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026 to give one of its everyday Grand Complications a new face. The Patek Philippe 5322G-010 is a 24-hour chiming alarm in white gold, and this time it arrives with a textured green lacquered dial fading to a black-gradient rim. It is a Calatrava at heart, a watch made for everyday wear, with a complication you will actually use on the wrist.
The Haute Minute
Patek Philippe’s Ref. 5322G-010 debuts at Watches and Wonders 2026 with a textured green lacquered dial, a 41mm hobnail-patterned white gold case and the self-winding AL 30-660 S C caliber, whose 24-hour alarm strikes a classic gong. It is the brand’s only water-resistant chiming watch, rated to 30 meters.

Alarm watches have a long and somewhat utilitarian history, and Patek has spent years refining how one should work. Here the answer is a single hammer striking a classic gong, set through a digital display that moves in 15-minute increments. The alarm time sits in a double aperture on the dial, flanked by two smaller windows that show whether the alarm is on or off and whether it is set for day or night. Patek holds four patents on the alarm, and the whole system reads clearly at a glance.
A Green Dial With a Contemporary Edge
The dial is the story here. The textured green lacquer has depth, and the black-gradient rim pulls the eye toward the center, where white gold applied Arabic numerals and white gold syringe-shaped hands carry a luminescent coating. Lume is not something one expects on a Grand Complication, and it gives the watch a slightly sporty side. The date is shown by hand in a subdial at 6 o’clock, which keeps the layout symmetrical despite the three alarm apertures above it.
The 41mm white gold case is 12.22mm thick and carries a hobnail pattern around the entire circumference of the caseband. The same Clous de Paris texture appears on the pusher, so the detail feels considered rather than added on. Skeletonized lugs open up the profile and keep the case from looking heavy, which helps on a watch of this size.

Water resistance is rated to 30 meters, and that figure matters more than it might seem. According to Patek Philippe, the 5322G is the only water-resistant chiming watch in its collection, so this is a striking complication you do not have to treat gingerly.

Inside the Caliber AL 30-660 S C
Turn the watch over and the sapphire case back shows the self-winding caliber AL 30-660 S C. It measures 31mm across and only 6.6mm thick, yet it holds 524 parts and 52 jewels, a lot to fit into a movement that also has to make room for a striking mechanism. An inertial flywheel regulates the alarm so the rhythm stays regular and the sound stays at a constant intensity.

The movement beats at 4 Hz (28,800 semi-oscillations per hour) with a Gyromax balance and a Spiromax balance spring, and it offers a power reserve of 42 to 52 hours. A 21K gold central rotor handles the winding, and the movement carries the Patek Philippe Seal. Sweep seconds complete the display.
In my view, green suits this watch. Among Patek’s chiming pieces, the 5322G reads as one of the most wearable, thanks to its water resistance, lume, and everyday proportions, and the green lacquer gives it a personality to match. It feels less like a museum complication and more like something to set for an early flight and actually use.

The watch comes on a green patinated alligator strap with square scales, closed by Patek’s patented white gold triple-blade fold-over clasp, and it ships with an additional beige calfskin strap in a nubuck finish for a softer, more casual look.
