Patek Philippe
Ref. 5975R-001
A rare, attractive and well-preserved limited edition pink gold multi-scale chronograph wristwatch with Certificate of Origin and presentation box, made to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe, one of a limited edition of 400 pieces, single-sealed
Full-Cataloguing
It was introduced with four metals including 400 examples each in yellow, pink and white gold with another 100 examples in platinum. Combining the firm’s traditional watchmaking technique with a touch of modernity, the reference encased in an elegantly constructed 40mm diameter case with prominent stepped lugs is a design that is meant to be timeless. Defying the traditional or the more common chronographic setup, 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).
Presented in brand new single-sealed condition and complete with its full set of accessories, the present example Patek Philippe ref. 5975R-001 from circa 2016 is a sight to behold. For collectors seeking an important chronograph reference by Patek Philippe, this undervalued reference is surely one not to be missed. Limited to 400 pieces, the present lot is fresh-to-the-market and is the 20th example to appear at auction.
