Catalogue Essay
First launched in 1996, reference 5004 was produced for 15 short years until it was replaced by reference 5204 which features an in-house movement. This example is fitted with a black dial, which is confirmed in the Certificate of Origin as being original to the watch. Examples of reference 5004 with black dials are most commonly found cased in platinum, which makes this watch very rare and unusual. Fresh to the market and lovingly preserved in pristine condition, this watch is accompanied by all its original accessories.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs.
