Full-Cataloguing
• Made to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe
• Limited edition of 1,300 pieces
• Factory single sealed
To celebrate its 175th anniversary in 2014, Patek Philippe introduced a series of limited-edition timepieces showcasing the manufacture’s technical and artistic expertise. Among them, the ref. 5575G combined two of Patek Philippe’s signature complications, World Time and moon phase, in a striking white gold wristwatch limited to 1,300 examples.
The reference was the first Patek Philippe wristwatch to combine the World Time complication with a moon phase indication following the actual lunar cycle. Developed specifically for the ref. 5575G and its ladies’ counterpart, the ref. 7175, the automatic Calibre 240 HU LU features an ultra-thin architecture and 22K gold micro-rotor.
Particularly captivating is the moon phase display, set against a deep blue, starry sky and created by two superimposed discs rotating at different speeds to reproduce the moon’s actual orbit. The result is an unusually poetic interpretation of the traditional complication, seamlessly integrated with the World Time display.
The present ref. 5575G is preserved in its original factory single-sealed condition and is accompanied by its complete set of accessories, offering the opportunity to acquire an untouched example of one of Patek Philippe’s most distinctive anniversary creations.
