Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe reference 5020 is a very rare and unusual watch. Hardly ever seen at auction in the last 20 years, scholarship is yet to determined exactly how many were made. At the time when the watch was being manufactured, because of the unusual design, the watch was not very popular and therefore very limited numbers were made. Today, the reference is far more popular and very sought after.
Consigned by a notable private collector, the watch is in excellent overall condition and is still retaining all of its original accessories.
