Marking the firm’s 175th anniversary in 2014, Patek Philippe released a series of limited-edition commemorative timepieces for the special occasion. Among the series were the ref. 5975s featuring multi-scale chronograph complication, a first of its kind.
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.
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.
