Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 9 November 2009, additional case back, setting pin, sales tag, leather folder, product literature, slip case, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

Introduced in 1996, reference 5004 became throughout the years one of the most popular perpetual calendar split-seconds chronograph wristwatch made by Patek Philippe. With features deriving from reference 3970 and thus the mythical reference 2499, the present timepiece carries the essence of Patek Philippe's post-war designs as well as the knowledge gathered throughout the years by its master watchmakers. Due to the complexity of building a mechanism with a perpetual calendar, a split-seconds chronograph as well as a moon-phase display and allying it to a traditional sized case, the manufacture could only build around 12 pieces per year and stopped production after 15 short years. With all the characteristics of a modern classic, reference 5004 has a strong future as a collectible and will attract sophisticated collectors with an eye for understated complexity.
