Catalogue Essay
Released alongside reference 5105 to commemorate the reopening of Patek Philippe's salon in 2006, reference 5565 was the first Calatrava reference to be produced in stainless steel for a very long time.
While the watch is incredibly sleek with a dual finished dial, the back of the watch pays homage to Patek Philippe's historical roots. The case back features an engraving of the Patek Philippe building, along with three key dates from the company's history. While 1839 commemorates the founding of the firm, 1892 represents the date of the building's restoration and reconstruction. Finally, 2006 marks the year the building was renovated and redesigned.
The present watch, in like new condition, truly marks an important moment in time for Patek Philippe, while paying tribute to the most important dates within the company's history.
