Catalogue Essay
In celebration of its 175th anniversary in 2014, Patek Philippe presented a chronograph honoring its prestigious past in a playfully contemporary manner.
The dial of reference 5975 is a tribute to Patek Philippe's chronographs of the 1940s and 1950s, featuring a lovely three scale indication with a telemeter on the outermost scale for the calculation of distances, a pulsometer graduated for 15 pulsations for the calculation of heartbeats, and a tachymeter for the computation of speed. Surprisingly the watch can be mistaken for a simple three handed watch as Patek Philippe decided to forego the habitual chronograph subdials.
The 40mm pink gold case takes up the equilibrium of the dial, playing both with its classical appearance of a rather slim case with rectangular pushers and an extremely contemporary sharply stepped and aggressive lugs, giving the watch a definitive edge.
Made in a limited edition of 400 pieces in pink gold it is extremely rare to find a ref 5975 on the secondary market. The present lot fuses with a cavalcade of details all pointing to the extreme craftsmanship and artistic inclination of modern Patek Phippe timepieces whose designs are never a repetition of the past but tributes to Patek Philippe’s ability to take the pulse of its effervescent history.
The present lot, property of the original owner, is a timepiece for the collector wishing to own a piece of Patek Philippe’s prestigious history.
