  • Catalogue Essay

    Making noise since its introduction in Baselworld 2012, the reference 5235 Regulator was Patek Philippe’s first ever wristwatch of its kind. Featuring a two-tone brushed silvered dial with blue ascents in a symmetrical vertical dial layout, it is unique in its own aspect. It is with no doubt that some collectors may have mixed feelings when it was initially launched due to the lack of heredity that one links to when Patek Philippe is brought up.

    The present example in white gold is no longer in production as it is replaced with a pink gold version. Adding to its attraction, the present excellent example is further accompanied by the full set of accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    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.
