Supremely elegant, the ref. 5159 is the successor of the highly collectible references 5050 and 5059. Featuring an intriguing complication in the form of a perpetual calendar with retrograde fly back date, the models are one of the very few perpetual calendar to bear the feature of a sweep seconds mechanism.
Launched in 2006, the ref. 5159 inherits the distinct DNA of its predecessors with the beautifully designed officer’s style case with a specially integrated hinged case back and linear lugs with screwed pins. Upsized with a 2mm larger case than the ref. 5059, the 38mm diameter case sits gracefully on the wrist.
In 2015 at the Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition London, a limited edition of the model was released, it is rumoured that only 80 pieces were made for the model. Released as the ref. 5159-012, it features an opaline dial with Breguet numerals to stand apart from the regular production. The minute scale is also updated to chemin-de-fer to with a modern look. Turning the watch over, the caseback is engraved with Patek Phillipe London 2015 mark to commemorate the event.
Fresh-to-the-market and kept in its stunning factory double-sealed condition, this rare example is absolutely unworn and only the 3rd example to appear publicly. The reference was discontinued recently by the firm in 2020, the present limited edition ref. 5159-012 in white gold is charmed with timeless understated perfection.
