  • Catalogue Essay

    An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly collectible aquatic collection of the 5076P, the present example depicts a pair of yellow tailed Threadfin Butterflyfish with exotic stripes. The pair swivels across a seabed of whimsical ,bed of sea urchins as the passage of time glides across the dial. Throughout the history of Chinese culture, the constant movement of the blissful fish encourages the growth of wealth, stability and when in pairs, harmony. Fitted with a set of thin leaf hands, the minute hand bears a beautiful wave shape that compliments the painted current of the ocean. Modest in size and snug on the wrist, the platinum Gondolo case frames this scenery in serenity and is definitely a pleasant view that can be admired on the get-go. The series was launched with four type of distinct fishes in limited production and was discontinued in 2006, the present 5076P in excellent condition with its Certificate of Origin is highly sought-after and is definitely a beauty for the enthusiast of marine life.

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.
