Catalogue Essay
Replacing the reference 5059, the 5159 was released in 2007, with a 2mm increase in diameter and a dial featuring a hand-guilloché center. The white gold version was introduced in 2007 and only discontinued in 2020. The Roman numerals were updated as well, becoming more elongated, similar to the engraved reference 5160. The most striking element is of course the retrograde date indication. At the end of each month, the date hand automatically flies back to its original starting point – a very difficult function to reliably implement in watchmaking.
Fresh to the market and in excellent overall condition, this reference 5159 from 2017 is offered complete with its original accessories indicating the watch was sold through Patek Philippe Japan. It is a chance to own a modern classic with all the refinements of early-twentieth century design encasing the finest mechanics of the modern era.
