  • Catalogue Essay

    - The Patek Philippe Sculpture collection, a surprising departure from the usual creation from the brand was a design from 1999. Its origin is particularly interesting and was first made for the Russian market in celebration of five years of Business with Russian distributor Mercury Group. Shortly after its debut, the model was introduced to the world after six-months.

    - The Sculpture was introduced with a total of 2,700 examples in a dozen of executions with integrated bracelets. A unique Russian twist to sports watches from the era, the timepiece drew inspiration from traditions of Continental Europe with smooth curves and sculpted silhouette.

    - Distinguished by its surprising Imperial blue enamel crown that pays homage to its Russian roots. The present ref. 5091/1A-001 in stainless steel features a simplistic white dial with Arabic luminous numerals, the timepiece is powered by the calibre 315.

    - Preserved in excellent overall condition and complete with its Certificate of Origin and accessories, this is a great testament of Patek Philippe’s creativity and experimentation.
