Catalogue Essay
Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe turned 175 years old in 2014. An exclusive selection of commemorative pieces was released as limited editions, including the present model, ref. 5975.
One of only 400 pieces made, the present timepiece is fresh-to-the-market and is the 15th example to be identified in yellow gold. A marriage of tradition and modernity, it features a generous 40mm case of very complex construction, defined by the heavily stepped lugs. The design of its chronographic complication harkens back to the multi-scale chronographs of the first half of the 20th century.
Devoid of a minute counter, it is effectively a 1-minute chronograph, thus intended to be used only in conjunction with the multi-scale dial to measure either speed (tachymeter scale), distance (telemeter scale) or heartbeats (pulsometer scale). The fact that such a utilitarian complication is found on such an elegant watch, and an Anniversary piece on top of that, is ironically unusual considering the brand.
The present lot is accompanied by its original accessories, the present ref. 5975J-001 is furthermore distinguished by remaining in its double factory-sealed packaging, meaning it is unworn and untouched in immaculate “new-old-stock" condition.
