Note du spécialiste
The Ref. 5004 was Patek Philippe’s first serially produced split-seconds perpetual calendar wristwatch. Produced between 1996 and 2012, it is one of the most important high complications the Geneva brand produced in the modern era. Powered by a Lemania-based movement, the watch was produced in four metals during its 16-year run – yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, and platinum, the rarest of the lot is of course, platinum. The 5004 was eventually replaced by Ref. 5204, which was unveiled during Baselworld 2012.
It is believed that Patek Philippe only made about 3 such examples - in pink gold with ruby hours markers on the dial. The presence of these rubies really adds to the rarity of these timepieces. A Patek Philippe split-seconds chronograph perpetual calendar in pink gold is desirable on its own, but one with a rare dial like this present lot is an extremely collectible timepiece.
