Catalogue Essay
Reference 5105 in platinum was launched along with reference 5565 to commemorate the opening of Patek Philippe’s salon in Geneva in 2006. Limited to 100 pieces only, the streamlined rectangular case of the present watch exemplifies the aesthetics of reference 492 in art-deco style from 1936. Like its compelling predecessor, reference 5105 is fitted with a calibre 9’’’90 manufactured in 1959, which were discovered in an old wooden chest before the watchmaking department moved to Plan-les-Ouates in 1996. Presented in pristine condition, the present watch is complete with accessories.
