Read Conditions of Sale
In 2014, Patek Philippe celebrated its 175th anniversary with a collection of limited-edition timepieces that encapsulated the brand’s legacy of technical mastery and aesthetic refinement. Among them was the reference 5575G, produced in just 1,300 examples, and notable as the very first Patek Philippe wristwatch to combine the world time complication with a moon phase display. It was presented alongside other anniversary creations, including the reference 5975 multi-scale chronograph, the platinum chiming ref. 5275P with digital jump hours, and the extraordinary ref. 5175R Grandmaster Chime—together forming a landmark collection in modern horology.

The 5575G introduced a new movement, the ultra-thin caliber 240 HU LU, developed specifically for this anniversary model and its companion ladies’ reference 7175R. Featuring a 22K gold micro-rotor, the movement powers both the world time display and the highly realistic moon phase. Executed with poetic elegance, the lunar display unfolds against a starry nocturnal sky, achieved through two overlapping discs that rotate in harmony with the moon’s actual orbit—a technical and artistic triumph for Patek Philippe.

The present example is offered complete with its Certificate of Origin stamped by the prestigious Patek Philippe Salon in Geneva, commemorative coin, attestation, and presentation boxes. A perfect synthesis of innovation and tradition, the 5575G remains one of the most evocative anniversary pieces from Patek Philippe and a cornerstone for any collector of modern limited-edition complications.
