Catalogue Essay
Together with the officer-cased ref. 5059 and ref. 5159, the Patek Philippe ref. 5050 was launched at the 1993 Basel Fair, stunning the horological world with an unusual complication that combines a perpetual calendar with retrograde fly-back date and center seconds.
Synonymous with elegance and sophistication, this model was delivered in yellow, pink, white gold, and platinum. The initial examples with railway divisions and Roman numerals were quickly phased out and were ultimately replaced by the baton indexes, as per the present timepiece. Discontinued in 2003, only an estimated 150 pink gold examples were made, according to our researches. Originally retailed by the prestigious Gübelin Salon in 2003, this pink gold 5050R-012 is the last of its kind and now offers collectors a fantastic chance to acquire a well-preserved example with its complete set of original accessories.
