Catalogue Essay
For many years, the 5016 was Patek Philippe's most important contemporary wristwatch. Combining the minute repeating, tourbillon mechanism, perpetual calendar and retrograde date, the watch sat at the top of the tree for many years. The case design with fluted lugs still aspires to its predecessors, such as the 2499, and still gives the ultimate look of elegant sophistication, housed in an incredibly powerful movement.
The reference was cased in all four metals, and was introduced to the market in 1994 and discontinued in 2010.
This reference 5016 manufactured in 2002, is fitted with a silvered dial and finished with white gold Breguet numerals. This dial is considered the classic dial combination for the reference and has started to turn a very subtle ivory colour, giving the watch a very charming tint. Complete with all accessories, sharp fluted lugs, repeating in phase, with a terrific tone and quality, it is a very handsome watch indeed.
