- The Patek Philippe reference 5212A, unveiled at Baselworld 2019, is undoubtedly one of the most noteworthy releases from the manufacturer in recent years. In a departure from their usual complications, this watch showcases the brand new calibre 26-330 S C J SE, which includes a groundbreaking weekly calendar, a first in Patek Philippe's history.
- The five centrally mounted hands create a harmonious visual appeal that balances all the displayed information. Unlike Patek Philippe's traditional designs, the calendar features a completely new typography, with the font based on the handwriting of one of the brand's designers, lending a unique touch to this exceptional timepiece. On the other hand, the double-stepped lugs immediately bring to mind the cases of vintage Patek Philippe watches, drawing inspiration from the unique Patek Philippe reference 2512 which is now displayed in the band's museum.
-The present model is offered by the original owner in like-new condition and complete with its full suite of accessories.
