Patek Philippe
Ref. 5905/1A
A rare and attractive stainless steel annual calendar chronograph wristwatch with day/night indication, green dial, bracelet, certificate of origin and presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
Previously only offered in precious metals, the present watch is the newest iteration of the model cased in stainless steel. Offered with a stunning olive green dial, the result is nothing short of jaw-dropping, a true iteration of sporty luxury. Most notably, the color of the dial is remarkably similar - if not identical - to the cult reference 5711 with olive green dial, further increasing the desirability of the present watch. Moreover, it is accompanied by a three-link bracelet inspired by the Aquanaut, amplifying its sporty elegance. The present watch is only the forth example of the reference to appear at auction.
Preserved in excellent, virtually "as new" condition - in fact the watch was delivered to the original owner on May 5 - it is accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, presentation box and outer packaging.
