Catalogue Essay
In 2006, Patek Philippe unveiled the reference 5565 to commemorate the grand reopening of its renovated Geneva boutique. This exceptional timepiece, limited to just 300 pieces and exclusively available through the Geneva boutique, stands out with its stainless steel case—a departure from the brand's typical use of precious metals. Adorning the caseback is a special engraving “Patek Philippe Geneve 1839-1982-2006” marking three pivotal dates in Patek Philippe's history: the company's founding in 1839, the original opening of the Geneva Salon in 1982, and the celebrated reopening in 2006. The steel case combined with the limited availability make this watch of the most coveted time-only modern Patek Philippe creations.
Drawing inspiration from one of the first waterproof Patek Philippe wristwatches, the reference 565, the present anniversary timepiece reinterprets the historical heritage of the Swiss maison with a contemporary touch: its 36mm diameter and two-tone dial echoing the elegance of 1930s sectorial dials. Powered by the esteemed caliber 215 PS, it perfectly exemplifies the know-how and finesse Patek Philippe is best-known for.
Preserved in impeccable condition, this example of the reference 5565 comes complete with its Patek Philippe Certificate, Attestation, commemorative medal, product literature, leather wallet, and presentation box. A true modern classic, it is a prized possession for discerning collectors of fine and rare timepieces.
