Catalogue Essay
- Introduced in 1998, the Patek Philippe ref. 5059 along with ref. 5050 were the only perpetual calendar wristwatches available with center seconds since the ref. 2497 and 2438-1.
- With a distinct appeal, the 36mm diameter officer-style case with a hinged caseback encases a perfectly symmetrical white lacquered dial with painted black Roman numerals and retrograde date indication.
- The reference was produced in all four metals with an estimated 1200 – 1400 examples produced until the reference was discontinued in 2006. It is believed that only 300 examples were produced with platinum cases.
- The references 5050 and 5950 share the sophisticated, self-winding cal. 315 S-QR with its striking 21K gold rotor, based on the cal. 315 SC featuring center seconds only. Its retrograde date stands out among the perpetual functions.
- Delivered with its Extract from the Archives, the present ref. 5059 in platinum from 1999 is one of the earlier examples of the reference. Offered in excellent overall condition, this is a great opportunity to acquire an understated perpetual calendar wristwatch manufactured by none other than Patek Philippe.
