Specialist note

The reference 5127 was released in 2005 and replaced its predecessor, the flat bezel 5107. With its rounded bezel and 37 mm three piece case with crown guards, this classic form Calatrava contains the caliber 315 with the Geneva seal. The reference 5127 was replaced in 2014 by the 5227, a watch upsized to 39mm, thinner bezel, sapphire hunter case back and without crown guards.

The dial of the presently offered watch is signed Patek Philippe and also Tiffany & Co., making this watch a superlative modern example of classic design. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge the present watch has never before been offered in public.

For another example and a discussion of the reference 5127, see Patek Philippe: Cult Object and Investment, p. 196-197.
