Available in 2500 pieces in each metal: yellow, white and pink gold, as well as platinum, the model was seized in 2005. Powered by the calibre 315S QA, the ref. 5035 only requires adjustment once a year, it is no surprise that this intellectual design became a staple collection in Patek Philippe. A wide array of dial colors was available: black, white, silver and in rare quantities, salmon or blue.

    The present example bears a slate grey sunburst dial full of charm and masculinity, the cool of the grey hue compliments the white gold case with incredible balance. As a milestone timepiece of horology history, the present example in excellent condition accompanied with its original accessories definitely styles with magnetic personality.
