with Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 19 December 2007, instruction manual, product literature, leather envelope, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

The desirability of this split-seconds chronograph is furthermore enhanced by the presence of the original certificate. It is also the first time that the present watch is offered at auction.
Reference 5959 is already today, despite of still being listed in Patek Philippe's catalogues, considered as a classic amongst collectors.
