Catalogue Essay
Incorporating minute repeating, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, retrograde date, moon phases and leap year indicator, reference 5016 is one of the most intricate timepieces ever made by Patek Philippe. Launched in 1994, the reference is now discontinued and replaced by reference 5216. The reference demonstrates Patek Philippe’s commitment to technical excellence and superior quality. The present reference 5016 is fitted with a silvered dial and finished with applied white gold Breguet numerals, retaining Patek Philippe’s unmistakable classic look. The rarity of this watch is also enhanced by its well defined fluted lugs, well balanced case proportion, crisp hallmarks and the presence of the original certificate. The present legendary reference 5016 demonstrates a further level of sophistication in highly complicated wristwatches.
