Catalogue Essay
The present watch, reference 5105, was released to celebrate and commemorate the reopening of the Patek Philippe's Geneva boutique in 2006. Released in a limited edition of 100 platinum examples, the present watch is very rarely offered on the market.
The production of reference 5105 is also accompanied by a very compelling back story. During renovation work, Patek Philippe employees found 100 pieces of calibre 9'''90 movements buried in a wooden chest. These movements, originally made in 1959, are now featured inside reference 5105 to celebrate Patek Philippe's illustrious history.
The present watch is offered in excellent overall condition and must have been lovingly kept in a safe for almost ten years, only surfacing today for the enjoyment and appreciation of the watch community.
