  • Catalogue Essay

    A symbol of punctuality, bravery and the fresh beginning of a new day, the Rooster is the perfect symbol of precision timekeeping. Pronounced similar to luck “ji” in Mandarin, the prosperous animal is part of the Patek Philippe Chinese Zodiac collection of the reference 5076P. The reference was first launched in 2003 until 2006, a short span of only 3 years with around 120 examples in total with various themes crafted with cloisonné enamel, these artisanal pieces rare treats for collectors.

    Perfect framed in elegance of the platinum rectangular Gondolo case, the star of the Year of Rooster is subtlety and elegance of a cream canvas. Beautiful red feathers intricately wrapped in gold ribbons, the flower motifs are colours in vivid green. Produced in 2005, the set features four different dials, each in a different color. Perfectly preserved, this is not only the first time for the Year of Rooster to appearing in the market, in fact all four editions of set is offered at the same time. Accompanied with its Certificate of Origin and accessories, the present example is definitely a beauty for the connoisseurs with an appreciation of artisan timepieces.
