Description
The Patek Philippe reference 5050 is Patek’s rarest and most collectable perpetual calendar wristwatch. It was also the first Patek perpetual to sell for over $100,000 at auction. Its retrograde date display with three apertures for the calendar made its debut on the 5050 – a design which went on to be used for subsequent perpetual calendar models and Patek’s epic reference 5016 grand complication.
The black dial with applied golden arabic numerals on this watch is one of a very, very small select few. The opportunity to own this 5050 with this dial might, literally, never be repeated!
Case is 18k gold with screw back and dimensions of 36mm diameter by 11.5mm thick. This case has very clean, traditional lines and is free of any design embellishments. The front crystal is slightly domed sapphire and the display back crystal is flat sapphire.
Dial is just so sweet it’s intoxicating. The rarest of the rare black with applied golden hour numerals and golden pomme hands. Sweep center seconds which is very rare on a perpetual calendar. The date is displayed on the retrograde scale which traverses the arc from 8 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Day is displayed in the aperture at 9 o'clock, leap year in the aperture under 12 o'clock, and month in the 3 o'clock aperture. Moonphase is displayed in the 6 o'clock subdial.
Movement is the automatic winding Patek Philippe Caliber 315/136 with 31 jewels, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, a 21k winding rotor, 46 hour power reserve and the Geneva Seal attestetation of superiority.
Strap is a Patek Philippe hand-sewn black alligator with 18k Patek tang buckle.
