Catalogue Essay
Reference 5399 was created to mark the fifth anniversary of Patek Philippe's entry into China and the inauguration of its Boutique in Shanghai. The model's rarity is unparalleled - it was created as a limited series of 25 pieces only. It displays a striking rose dial that is further complemented by black oxidized markers, similar to that of the steel reference 5004. A hobnail bezel furthermore adds flair to this incredibly attractive timepiece.
Incredibly rare and particularly sought after, rose or "salmon" dials are usually granted only upon special request by Patek Philippe. For the manufacture to launch this particular dial configuration is a momentous event, and the opening of the Shanghai Boutique is no exception.
Previously only known to the horological cognoscenti, this model's appearance on the auction market is unprecedented and a particularly noteworthy occasion.
