  • Catalogue Essay

    - With its debut at Baselworld in 2012, the Patek Philippe Regulator ref. 5235 marked the maison's graceful foray into regulator timepieces. The watch's refined aesthetic reflects the best of Patek's design heritage - from the sharp lugs reminiscent of legends like ref. 3448, to the brushed casebands that nod to the "Padellone." Yet the 5235 interpretation feels entirely fresh and modern.

    - Its beauty is matched by technical innovation within. The cal. 31-260 REG QA was specially developed for the Regulator, incorporating three silicon components from Patek's cutting-edge Advance Research department. Never before had silicon parts featured in a serially produced Patek caliber.

    - Initially white gold ruled the 5235 alone. But in 2018, the warm allure of pink gold took center stage with the present 5235R. Here the interplay of brushed and polished pink gold is sublime against the dark two-tone dial. Applied rose gold markers catch the light along with the textured graphite center.

    - Few opportunities to own this horological masterwork arise. Yet today, offered in exceptional condition with all its accessories, the present 5235R is a chance for the discerning collector to experience regulator elegance as only Patek Philippe can conceive.

    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.
