  • Catalogue Essay

    - In 2006, in commemoration of their recent renovated Salon, Patek Philippe introduced the limited edition references 5565 and 5105. These exclusive models were solely available through the salon, serving as a tribute to the brand's rich heritage. The inspiration for the reference 5565 was drawn from the iconic reference 565, a renowned and today highly collectable timepiece launched in 1938.

    - The dial is adorned with applied black Arabic and baton numerals, accompanied by luminous dots and hands. The overall aesthetic of the dial mirrors earlier designs with silvered two-tone finish featuring a vertically satin-finished center.

    - Most notably cased in stainless steel, the case back bears an engraving that reads "Patek Philippe Geneve 1839-1982-2006," signifying three pivotal historical dates: the founding of Patek, Czapek & Cie at Quai des Bergues 29 in 1839; Patek Philippe's relocation to Rue du Rhône in 1853; and the celebration of the building's renovation in 1892 under the direction of architect Jacques-Elisée Goss. The final date marks the 2006 celebration.

    - Preserved in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its set of original accessories, the present timepiece is a true modern classic for the connoisseur of fine and rare timepieces.

Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. 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.
