Being the first to manufacture the first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch in the 1940s, as well as being the very first to launch a self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch in the early 1960s, Patek Philippe is simply “King” when it comes to perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatches.
Launched in 2012, the ref. 5204 replaced the ref. 5004 being the first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch to feature the manufacturer’s first in-house cal. CHR 29-535 PS Q, replacing its former Lemania based cal. CHR 27-70Q. Marking a new era for Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs, the ref. 5204 featured certain upgrades such as an enlarged 40mm diameter case, baton numerals replacing its former applied gold Arabic numerals featured on the ref. 5004, a slight tweak in the layout of the dial with a noticeable “upside down” moonphase resembling a “smile”. The reference was released first in platinum with an opaline silver dial and two years later, the black dial was launched and the pink gold variants came later.
The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5204P is fitted with a black dial and is offered in single sealed condition and accompanied by the full set of accessories. Being the first reference to feature Patek Philippe’s first in-house caliber, the 5204 is with no doubt a milestone piece of perhaps the most important line of complicated timepieces by the firm.
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.
