  • Catalogue Essay

    Patek Philippe released the reference 5205 in white gold in 2010 as an annual calendar wristwatch with instantaneously jumping day, date and month indicators all neatly displayed in an arc at the top of the of the dial. They were delivered with either silver grey or like the present watch with slate-grey and black matte dials. The brand updated the model in 2013 with a pink gold version with either white opaline or lacquered black dials. Both have a sporty look that is reminiscent of complicated watches like the reference 5208.

    The present watch comes directly from the original owner and is an attractive example and offered with presentation box and original certificate of origin.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
