Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe’s reference 5004 is arguably one of the brands most compelling timepieces produced. Introduced in 1996, it is a direct descendent of the classic perpetual calendar chronograph 3970, and before that the iconic reference 2499. Housed in a similar 36mm diameter case as the reference 3970, the 5004 has a thicker case due to the addition of not just a chronograph mechanism, but a rattrapante function, or split-seconds chronograph. Probably the most recognizable feature to the timepiece is the oversized crown with the addition of the split-seconds mechanism and its Lemania based movement. Considered a top collectable wristwatch today, it is a model that has a strong modern appeal with a bold look and appearance on the wearer’s wrist.
The present example is well-preserved and accompanied by its original certificate of origin and additional hard case back. The model today is discontinued however it has achieved cult status amongst Patek Philippe purists as it perfectly combines the brands signature design, highest level of complication and uncompromising approach to quality.
