Replacing its former ref. 5059, the ref. 5159 was launched by Patek Philippe in 2007 featuring a classic officer-style case. The self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch was first innovated by Patek Philippe in 1962 via the coveted ref. 3448. Fast forward to modern times, Patek Philippe never fails to impress whenever a new perpetual calendar timepiece is launched, each with its own discerning appeal.
Featuring an upgraded and a larger case measuring a versatile 38mm diameter, the ref. 5159 features moon phases, leap year indication and interestingly a retrograde-style date. Early examples of the reference were powered by the cal. 315 SQR stamped with the Geneva seal with later examples featuring cal. 324 SQR stamped with the Patek Philippe seal. The present example from circa 2008 belongs to one of the earliest examples to be stamped with a Patek Philippe seal on the cal. 324 SQR.
Presented in attractive overall condition, the present timepiece is accompanied by its Certificate of Origin stamped by a local retailer along with its fitted winding presentation box.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. 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.
