Catalogue Essay
Representing fidelity and punctuality, the Rooster is the perfect symbol of a brand new start. Pronounced similar to luck “ji” in Mandarin, the prosperous animal is part of the Patek Philippe Chinese Zodiac collection of the reference 5076P. The reference was first launched in 2003 until 2006, a short span of only 3 years with around 120 examples in total with various themes crafted with cloisonné enamel, these artisanal pieces rare treats for collectors.

Perfect framed in elegance of the platinum rectangular Gondolo case, the star of the Year of Rooster dances in the cheerfulness of yellow canvas. Beautiful red feathers intricately wrapped in gold ribbons, the flower motifs are colours in white. Produced in 2005, the set features four different dials, each in a different color. Perfectly preserved, it is the first time all four editions have been offered in the same sale. The Year of Rooster set has never appeared in the market before, making this the first time collectors can get their hands on the fresh-to-the-market set with its Certificate of Origin and accessories, the present example is definitely a beauty for the connoisseurs with an appreciation of artisan timepieces.
