The Patek Philippe ref. 5235G has always been an unusual model from the firm’s lineup. First introduced at Baselworld in 2012 and no longer in production, the wristwatch features a regulator-style annual calendar cased in white gold with a brushed two-tone silvered dial and blue accents. Drawing its inspiration from old regulator clocks from the eighteenth century, the design is elegantly executed with subtle details that demand close attention to fully appreciate the charm of this timepiece.
The contrasted white and grey vertical brushing of the dial changes pleasantly under various lighting conditions. In addition to the symmetrical layout of the dial, the lugs are reminiscent of vintage Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar references 3448 and 3450, giving the timepiece an overall clean and retro aesthetic.
Fitted with the self-winding cal. 31-260 REG QA designed specifically for this model, it is the first serially produced Patek Philippe caliber to incorporate three silicon components developed by the firm’s Advance Research department: a silicon escape wheel, a silicon anchor and a silicon balance spring.
Exceedingly stylish and unique, the present example 5235G from circa 2015 is offered in its original double factory sealed condition and further accompanied by its full set of accessories. Fresh-to-the-market, this timepiece is the 46th white gold example to be identified, allowing collectors another chance at acquiring this highly coveted, discontinued, regulator-style annual calendar.
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.
