Catalogue Essay
Reference 5004 was a true revolution when it was introduced as for the first time it offers a split seconds function in additional to the perpetual calendar and chronograph complication. Manufactured in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, steel and platinum, the watch is now discontinued. The reference combines perfectly Patek Philippe's signature design, highest level of complications and uncompromised approach to quality.
Presented in very original condition, this yellow gold example comes complete with original certificate and accessories.
