Specialist note
With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 25 January 2007 and instructions.
Reference 5105 was made in a limited edition of 100 examples in platinum.
The elegant and Art Deco inspired reference 5105 with its streamlined rectangular case is based on its compelling predecessor ref. 492 from 1936.
When the Patek Philippe watch departments moved from its historic headquarters in the centre of Geneva to its new headquarters in 1996, one hundred cal. 9'''90 movements were found stashed away in an old wooden chest on the sixth floor. These movements originating from 1959 are now featured inside Ref. 5105, making the model a rare treasure.
