  • Catalogue Essay

    - The Patek Philippe reference 5032 was produced from 1995 through to 2001 to celebrate the beginning of the new millennium and available via Patek Philippe's Geneva Salon. Limited to only 100 pieces, of which the present timepiece is number 06, it was one of the smallest limited editions produced by the firm for an Anniversary or Commemoration.

    - The present Calatrava "Millennium" differs from the standard production 5032 in a number of ways. Showcasing dagger hour markers, five minute divisions on the outer ring and a single Breguet numeral 2 to commemorate the new decade. Lastly, the timepiece presents itself with an uncommon cabochon ruby-set crown, a charming and different twist on a standard crown.

    - Patek Philippe limited edition watches celebrating anniversaries or commemorations are highly desired by collectors, with the present reference 5032J making no exception. Preserved in excellent and unpolished condition, the present Millennium timepiece is further accompanied by its full of 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. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
