The present ref. 5033P-010 is preserved in excellent overall condition and represents the scarce opportunity of acquiring one of the few examples of this particular reference ever made.
The combination of rarity, finest craftsmanship and the elegant minimalist understatement design render this ref. 5033P-010 a fine trophy for the collector of exceptional timepieces.
Ref. 5033P-010
The reference 5033 is Patek Philippe’s first “Grande Complication” wristwatch combining a minute repeating and the patented annual calendar mechanism. The reference originally featured a dial with Roman numerals and was updated in 2004 with applied gold drop hour markers, as seen on this present example.
Its celebrated calibre R27 PS QA, one of the firm’s most complex movements, comprises 483 individual parts and incorporates the "Cathedral" repeating mechanism, consisting of a high-tone and a low-tone gong. The length of the gong in a standard repeating mechanism corresponds to almost precisely one turn in the movement whereas those of the "Cathedral" mechanism exceed the case circumference by at least one and a half, even two turns. Consequently, a much richer and fuller timbre is achieved, resembling the chime of the bells of a cathedral.
Patek Philippe’s annual calendar mechanism, patented in 1996, requires to be adjusted only once a year, on 1st March.
