Launched in 1993 and discontinued in 2002, the reference 5050 was Patek Philippe’s first series of perpetual calendar wristwatch to feature a retrograde date function. The reference 5050 was also the first perpetual calendar series produced with sweeps center seconds, ever since the references 2497 and 2438-1.
The present watch belongs to the third series of reference 5050, with beautifully applied Roman numerals, a sophisticated moon-phase aperture as well as pearled minute indexes. Fitted with a finely created 18k pink gold case, the present watch is the epitome of fine artisanship and superb technological prowess. Complimented with a Certificate of Origin and fitted presentation box, the present lot is not only a fine example from the reference 5050 series, but is also highly collectable for watch collectors around the world.
