  • Catalogue Essay

    - Introduced in 2016, Patek Philippe’s reference 5930 combines the iconic world time complication with a sophisticated flyback chronograph, marking a historic first for the brand. Designed as an elegant dress watch for frequent travelers, it was originally offered in white gold or platinum with striking green or blue dials. In 2022, Patek Philippe unveiled the upgraded reference 5935, featuring a slightly larger 41mm stainless steel case.

    - With its sporty retrolook, the new reference 5935A-001 stands out as an instant future classic. The opaline rose gilt dial features a modern carbon motif at its center, adding a dynamic, contemporary edge. The crisscross pattern complements the robust stainless steel case, while the charcoal grey gold hour markers and faceted white gold dauphine hands, treated with luminescence, enhance legibility. Surrounding the dial, the outermost ring displays the names of 24 cities corresponding to the world’s time zones, printed in black against a salmon background, giving this timepiece a sporty look.

    - The present example, preserved in "like-new" condition and accompanied by its original accessories, presents an exceptional opportunity for collectors to acquire a versatile and refined timepiece that bridges elegance and practicality.

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.
