Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe reference 5524 was first introduced to the public at Baselworld 2015. Recalling the manufacture's timepieces from the past, it was inspired by the manufacture's pilot watches of the 1930s but was extremely sporty in nature: it displayed an incredibly modern dial, along with an enlarged case size. Originally introduced to the market only in white gold, Patek Philippe later launched the pink gold version.
The present watch is cased in white gold and is offered in excellent condition, replete with its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated September 23, 2019, presentation box and outer packaging.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. 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.
