With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with matte white dial and black Roman numerals in 2001 and its subsequent sale on 3 December 2001.

Reference 5059, introduced in 1998, possesses an intriguing complication: a retrograde date display. The date is indicated by a hand progressing along a 240 arc located within the hour scale between 8 and 4 o'clock. Around midnight on the last day of each month, be it the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st, the hand automatically jumps back to the numeral 1.

Reference 5059 was discontinued in 2006 and replaced by reference 5159.
