Catalogue Essay
Reference 5059 was introduced to the market in 2001 and was discontinued in 2006 when it was replaced by the reference 5159.

This reference is the rarest version cased in platinum, and is sought after by collectors because of its distinguishing features such as the officer case with screwed lugs, retrograde date, and an easily visible movement through the hinged case back. Accompanied by all its original accessories, the present watch is a very clean and crisp example.

Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
