Catalogue Essay
Reference 5296 was launched in 2006, and it represents a modern take on some of the most appealing vintage aesthetic canons of watchmaking. The case architecture follows that of 1930s archetypal reference 96 - the first Calatrava - and the dial incorporates some exquisite details also strongly associated with the first half of the past century: combined railway fifth-of-a-second and Arabic five minutes divisions, sectorial design and two-tone finish. To this already highly appealing design, Patek Philippe added a center second movement with date, creating a timepiece of enormous vintage appeal but still suitable for everyday use.
The present example is from 2009, and thus still bears the Geneva Seal to the movement. All examples made since 2010 bear instead the Patek philippe Seal. It is offered in extremely good condition by its original owner, complete of all its original accessories.
