Patek Philippe launched reference 5450 Advanced Research during Baselworld 2008 - a limited edition of 300 pieces fitted with the exclusive Pulsomax escapement, a silicon escape wheel and a Spiromax balance spring made of Silinvar. The new design brought with it a number of improvements: an improved isochronism lead to higher accuracy and the efficiency of both the Swiss lever escapement and the power reserve was enhanced by 30%.

Typical features of the watch are the applied indexes and the three Arabic numerals on the salmon-coloured dial. They are made in black nickel-plated 18K white gold, as are the beautifully curved luminescent leaf hands.
