With Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated 19 June 2011, Rate Accuracy Certificate for Patek Philippe Tourbillon Watches, additional case back, sales tag, product literature, instruction manual, leather wallet, leather portfolio, slip case, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
When it comes to prestige, Patek Philippe is one of the first brands that comes up to mind to many collectors. When on top of that it is a reference model that houses a tourbillon and a minute repeater, then we enter the field of exclusive watches. This is the case with reference 5339, the successor of the famed reference 3939. It features almost the same attributes, including the white enamel dial, but is wider in diameter than its predecessor and offers a 36.5mm case. Another feature that distinguishes it from its "younger brother" is its "Clou de Paris" bezel, another Patek Philippe signature feature. The enamel dial now features "baton" numerals, giving it a contemporary look.
Reference 5339 was in production from 2010 until 2012 and was only manufactured in pink gold. Reference 5339 is today no longer in production and has been replaced in 2013 by reference 5539.
The present example, offered here for the first time at Christie's, is "fresh" to the market and furthermore complete with box and Certificate, and most of all preserved in pristine condition.
