Patek Philippe An extremely fine, large, rare and elegant yellow gold “Cathedral” minute repeating wristwatch with enamel dial, box and certificate of origin
42 mm diameter
Patek Philippe reference 5079 was launched in 2001 and produced for only 5 years and, according to our knowledge, only 70 examples were made.
This exceptional minute repeating wristwatch features the "cathedral" gongs. These gongs are much longer and wrap, resulting in a deeper chime.
To enrich the elegant and classic styling, the white enamel dial features Roman numerals and railway-track minute division. The result is a pleasing yet simple aesthetic that conceals the technical difficulty and masterful engineering required for this exacting high complication. Combining elegance and rarity, reference 5079 perfectly defines what collectors look for in a Patek Philippe wristwatch.
