Presented without reserve, the exquisite Patek Philippe presentation box, meticulously crafted in luxurious wood was specifically designed to house a set of four watches. Robust and weighty, it epitomizes the manufacturer's commitment to using only the finest materials, ensuring no expenses were spared in attending to even the minutest of details.
This present lot was meant to accompany the coveted set of four floral timepieces bearing reference number 5075G. It serves as an impeccable complement for any collector who desires to showcase their treasured possessions, offering not only beauty and practicality but also an undeniable vintage allure. There is a key for security, and a lower compartment for storing accessories.
If all lots of the reference 5075G are sold to the same buyer, the box will be withdrawn and included with the acquisition of the four watches.
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.

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.
