HK_WATCHES_MAY16_140-211.indd 176 Launched in 2005, reference 5959 was made in tribute to Patek Philippe’s complicated wristwatches produced in the late 1920s. The reference was produced in platinum only and houses the company’s first entirely in-house chronograph movement. The present reference 5959 is from the first series and was manufactured in 2007. The watch is fitted with a white dial and finished with black Breguet numerals, which gives the ultimate look of elegant sophistication. The platinum Officer case, combined with the split seconds chronograph mechanism, applies a level of refinement to the watch. Although the reference is still in current production, the watch is already today considered a classic and has an increasing demand and popularity amongst collectors. Completed with all accessories, still sealed and never been used before, the present watch is fresh to the market. 22/04/16 14:58
