  • Catalogue Essay

    Presented at Baselworld 2015, the Patek Philippe ref. 5905P features an elegant 42mm diameter platinum case with an annual calendar and a flyback chronograph complication. While most would agree that the resemblance in aesthetics is uncanny to the annual calendar ref. 5205, the ref. 5905 does not feature hollowed lugs such as the ref. 5205, but instead offering the wearer with an additional chronograph function with a larger case. Indicated through three apertures, the annual calendar shows the day, date and month above the signature providing the wearer with clear legibility. The reference was first available only in platinum with the release of an 18K pink gold variant introduced recently in 2019 by the firm with a “chocolate” brown dial.

    The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5905P features a blue dial from circa 2017. Offered with the full set of accessories, the present specimen is also well-preserved with very minimal wear.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    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.
