Provenance: Property of the Original Owner , A storied legacy, reimagined. Patek Philippe's perpetual calendar holds court as the manufacture's most revered complication since the early 20th century. The early references 1526 and 2497 stand as horological icons, pairing a complex calendar mechanism with an understated elegance befitting Patek Philippe's heritage. In 1961, the ref. 3448 broke new ground as the brand's inaugural self-winding perpetual calendar, paving the way for a series of automatic calendars encased in artfully shaped cases. Then came ref. 5059 in 1999, the first Patek perpetual calendar housed in an officer's case, reinventing vintage design codes for a new millennium. Its successor, ref. 5159, arrived in 2007 with a subtle 2mm increase in case size and featured an intricate guilloché-engraved dial. Extended Roman numerals and a prominent retrograde date pay homage to early 20th century watchmaking, yet inside ticks a state-of-the-art self-winding movement. The present ref. 5159 in yellow gold from circa 2020 is consigned by its original owner with its original accessories. Preserved in barely worn condition, this stunning perpetual calendar represents a chance to own Patek Philippe's heritage and innovation in equal measure - a contemporary classic honoring the past while pioneering horology's future.
