Ref. 5020
A fascinating, very rare and extremely collectible pink gold perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moonphases, leap year indication and 24-hour indication
Full-Cataloguing
- Featuring a perpetual calendar and chronograph complication, the TV-shaped Ref. 5020 was the brand’s first perpetual calendar chronograph housed in a non-round case, with fewer than 500 examples believed to exist across all metals and with only 23 pieces ever gracing the auction market.
- The watch showcases an elegant dial with Breguet numerals and hands, creating a perfectly balanced display of the perpetual calendar indications, while the case back reveals the historic CH 27-70Q movement, Patek Philippe’s first non-Valjoux-based chronograph caliber.
- This rose gold example, believed to be produced in quantities of around 120 pieces, remains in excellent condition and will undoubtedly be highly sought after by collectors.
