Catalogue Essay The Patek Philippe reference 5004 is widely recognized as one of the most sought-after grand complications in the neo-vintage era. Renowned for combining multiple Grand Complications into a single movement, this collection carries on the lineage of Patek Philippe's iconic perpetual calendar chronograph watches since 1941. These watches not only have a legendary reputation but also hold a pinnacle status in the world of Patek Philippe collecting. Introduced in 1996, the reference 5004 was a significant milestone for the brand as it was their first serially produced watch to feature a perpetual calendar with the sophisticated split-seconds chronograph complication. With its classic 36.5mm case, it captures the hearts of collectors and connoisseurs alike, embodying the centuries-old horological expertise and timeless design codes of the esteemed manufacturer. Notably, the timepiece also marked the end of Patek Philippe's use of the Lemania-based caliber, calibre CH 27-70 Q. Due to the intricacy and labor-intensive nature of its production, only around 12 reference 5004 watches came out of the manufacturer each year. After a 16-year production run, the reference 5004 was succeeded by the reference 5204 in 2012, featuring an in-house movement. An exceptionally rare timepiece, it was highly sought-after and notoriously difficult to secure from boutiques as it was an application piece back then. The present example in luster platinum features a semi-glossy black dial which is adorned with 10 brilliantly-cut and 1 baguette-cut diamond at the 12 hour, creating a truly exceptional visual appeal. In excellent overall condition and accompanied by all of its original accessories, this timepiece represents a highly collectible and mechanically impressive piece that will be one of the grail watches in the years to come.
